Muḥammad II Chelebī (c. 1373 – c. 1390) was the fourth and last Sultan of the Eretnids. He was crowned when he was 7 years old, after his father died in August 1380 from the plague.^[1] His regent was Kadi Burhan al-Din, who proclaimed himself as the ruler by January 1381. According to Ibn Khaldun and Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, Muhammad was killed by Kadi Burhan al-Din in 1390.^[2]
