    Thanks, I'll have to watch this for some context. I've been binge-watching Dirilis: Ertugrul (AKA Resurrection: Ertugral) on Netflix:

    This series is about the Turkish warrior Ertugrul from the 13th century, one of the most famous warriors of his time and also the father of Osman (the founder of the Ottoman Empire). He is an ambitious man who wants to bring peace and justice to his people. He is in a war with the Crusaders on one side, the Byzantines on another side and the brutally expanding Mongols who killed a lot of Turks on another side. In between this he is in a psychological war between his love and his so called destiny.

    It's a Turkish production with English subtitles. Somewhat melodramatic, like a soap opera with lots of sword-play and subplots, but the characters are well developed and the historical bits I've looked up check out.
