Evrenos Bey
Evrenos Bey was a Turkish frontier commander who, after serving the beylik of Karesi, became one of the leading Ottoman marcher lords in the Balkans. From the 1360s he led raids and conquests in Thrace, Macedonia and Greece, and founded Giannitsa (Yenice-i Vardar), where his tomb stands. His descendants, the Evrenosoğulları, remained a powerful frontier family for generations.
