After the [[Capture of Constantinople|Ottoman capture of Constantinople]] in 1453, the Ottoman sultans began to style themselves '''Kaysar-i Rum''' (Ceaser of the Romans) as they asserted themselves to be the heirs to the Roman Empire by right of conquest. The title was of such importance to them that it led them to eliminate the various Byzantine successor states – and therefore rival claimants – over the next eight years. Though the term "emperor" was rarely used by Westerners of the [[Ottoman sultan]], it was generally accepted by Westerners that he had imperial status.

[[Harun Osman]] is currently the head of the [[Ottoman dynasty]].
