Nasir al-Dīn Mehmed Beg (Turkish: Nasireddin Mehmed Bey) was the fifth ruler of the Turkoman Dulkadirid principality, ruling from 1399 to 1442.
Reign
He was installed by the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I, who forced his rival cousin who previously held the throne, Ṣadaqa, out of Elbistan.[1][2] Apart from intermittent conflicts with the Mamluks, Mehmed had stable relations with the Ottomans. Tīmūr attacked Dulkadir tribesmen near Tadmur and ransacked Mehmed's territory in response to harassment by Dulkadirid tribes during the siege of Sivas in 1400.[1]
Family
Mehmed married with Kadi Burhan al-Din's daughter, Khadija Khatun, corresponding to his father's earlier alliance with Kadi Burhan al-Din.[1] Mehmed married his daughter Emine Khatun to the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed I and Nefise Khatun to the Mamluk Sultan Jaqmaq,[3] after she was widowed from her earlier marriage with the Mamluk rebel Janibeg al-Ṣūfī.[1]
