has gloss | eng: Suleiman Baltughlu was a Turkish Admiral in the 15th century. He led the Turkish fleet against the Byzantines in 1453 during the final siege of Constantinople. Famous for the naval battle in which four Christian ships took on his entire fleet and managed to win and escape. Sultan Mehmet II was so angered during the defeat that he rode his horse into the sea screaming at Baltoghlu. When the battle ended, Baltoghlu was brought in front of Mehmet who promptly ordered that he be executed. Only after the pleading of his subordinates who told of Baltoghlu's great bravery during the battle in which he had even been wounded in the eye did Mehmet spare his life. |

has gloss | por: Suleiman Balthoglu foi um navegador otomano, nascido na Bulgária no século XV. Em seu tempo, os búlgaros eram súditos do Sultão Otomano, e Balthoglu seguiu carreira na marinha otomana, alçando o cargo de almirante. Atuou como comandante maior da marinha turca durante o cerco a Constantinopla, em 1453, mas seguidas derrotas frente aos poucos navios gregos, venezianos e genoveses causaram a insatisfação do Sultão Maomé II, que o humilhou em público e o despojou de seus bens antes de dispensá-lo do comando da marinha turca. |
