The Courageous Turk The Courageous Turk, or Amurath I is a play by the Jacobean dramatist Thomas Goffe, first performed in 1618 and published posthumously in 1632. The plot is based primarily on passages from "The generall historie of the Turkes" by Richard Knolles. The play purports to be an account of the life of the Ottoman Emperor Murad I, called "Amurath," but it also incorporates elements from Knolles's description of the life of Mehmed II.
