1326 — Siege of Bursa
The Siege of Bursa (Ottoman Turkish: فتحِ بورصه, romanized: Feth-i Bursa) took place from 1317 until the capture of Bursa on 6 April 1326, when the Ottoman Turks deployed a bold plan to seize the city, which was back then known as Prusa. The Ottomans had not captured a city before; the lack of expertise and adequate siege equipment at this stage of the war meant that the city fell only after six or nine years.

The battle took place near the population centre of the same name in Alentejo. It was the first major battle of the 1383–1385 Crisis.
