===Last years=== [[File:Türbe of Orhan Gazi, Bursa.jpg|thumb|300px|The [[türbe]] of Orhan Gazi in Bursa]] [[File:Sultan thomb Bursa Turkey 2013 1.jpg|thumb|300px|The exterior view of his [[türbe]] in [[Bursa]].]] Orhan was the longest living and one of the longest reigning of the future Ottoman Sultans. In his last years he had left most of the powers of state in the hands of his second son [[Murad I|Murad]] and lived a secluded life in [[Bursa]]. In 1356 Orhan and [[Theodora Kantakouzene (wife of Orhan)|Theodora]]'s son, [[Halil Bey (son of Orhan)|Halil]], was abducted somewhere on the Bay of [[Izmit]]. A Genoese commercial boat captain, which was conducting acts of piracy alongside commercial activity, was able to capture the young prince and take him over to [[Phocaea]] on the Aegean Sea, which was under Genoese rule. Orhan was very much upset by this kidnapping and conducted talks with his brother-in-law and now sole Byzantine Emperor John V Palaeologos. As to the agreement, John V with a Byzantine naval fleet went to Phocaea, paid the ransom demanded of 100,000 ''[[hyperpyron|hyperpyra]]'', and brought Halil back to Ottoman territory. In 1357 Orhan's eldest and most experienced son and likely heir, Suleyman Pasha, died after injuries sustained from a fall from a horse near Bolayir on the coast of the sea of Marmara. The horse that Suleyman fell from was buried alongside him and their tombs can still be seen today. Orhan was said to have been greatly affected by the death of his son. Orhan died soon after, likely from natural causes. Orhan died in 1362, in [[Bursa]], at the age of eighty, after a reign of thirty-six years. He is buried in the [[türbe]] (tomb) with his wife and children, called ''Gümüşlü Kumbet'' in Bursa.
