Savcı Bey

Savcı Bey (c. 1364–November 1385) was a prince who, with Andronikos, rebelled against both of their fathers, the Ottoman Sultan Murad I and the Byzantine Emperor John V Palaiologos, respectively, in the 1370s. Savcı was the youngest of Murad's three sons. The name of his mother and birth year are unknown. In Ottoman tradition, all princes (Turkish: şehzade) were required to serve as provincial (sanjak) governors as a part of their training. Savcı's sanjak was Bursa, the co-capital of the empire (along with Edirne).

Not to be confused with Saru Batu Savcı Bey.
In this Ottoman Turkish style name, the given name is Savcı, the title is Bey, and there is no family name.
