Laonikos Chalkokondyles spent the largest part of his life in Mistra, one of the most important centers of the 15th century Byzantine world, and following the Ottoman annexation of the Despotate of Morea, he moved to Athens where he wrote the “Laonikou Apodeiksis Historiōn/Demonstrations of Histories”. Chalkokondyles, in his history consisted of ten books, narrates the events from the establishment of the Ottoman State until 1463/64. At the beginning of the fifth book he describes in detail the accession to the throne of Sultan Murad II. He writes that the Byzantines sometime after the proclamation of Murad II as Sultan, they took Mustafa Çelebi, Rumeli and that Bayezid Pasha sent his envoys to Constantinople in order to obtain Emperor’s neutrality. He accounts the dispute between Emperor Manuel II and his son Ioannes VIII and adds that Mustafa Çelebi acting adjacent to the agreement that he had made with Byzantium, refused to gave up Gallipoli. He also gives the details of Murad II’s transportation Rumeli by a Genoese ship and the execution of Mustafa Çeleb
