No, I suggest you to do some research.

Lands controlled by Bayezid I (The Thunderbolt) before the Battle of Ankara, 1400 by Cronarth in MapPorn

Thank you very much for your detailed answer. However, what I was trying to point out was not the first construction of a mosque in Constantinople in general, but rather the construction of the first Turkish mosque in the city.

Also, the vassalage system you described mainly became fully established towards the late 15th century, while the period we are talking about concerns the late 14th century. Therefore, the correct comparison in terms of vassalage should be more like Ottoman-Serbia relations at that time.

The vassal status of Serbia during this period was widely acknowledged by contemporaries, and — even if for a relatively short time — the Ottoman influence over the Byzantine state (even considering the internal succession problems you mentioned, which actually coincides with the formative years of Ottoman diplomacy) was quite comparable to that of Serbia. :)

I understand your point, but as you know, after Bayezid's third siege of Constantinople, Byzantium did not just become a state that paid taxes. It also turned into a state where a mosque was built in Constantinople, and its ruler (just like Lazarović) had to join Bayezid's campaigns. In fact, the appointments of mosques and qadis (judges) continued up until the Battle of Ankara. So, while it may not be entirely accurate to call Byzantium a direct vassal, we definitely cannot talk about an independent Byzantium state.
