Hajji Sayf al-Dīn Shadgeldi Pasha (died 1381) was Emir of Amasya from 1359 until his death. He was the second oldest son of Hajji Kutlu Shah and became the emir of Amasya in August–September 1359. He received his education from Mawlana Fakhr al-Dīn Ilyas in Amasya and was a classmate of Aqsara'i.[6] He was initially loyal to Eretna but exercised autonomy following his death.[7]

Early life and first reign

Shadgeldi was the second eldest son of Hajji Kutlu Shah. He received his education from Mawlana Fakhr al-Dīn Ilyas in Amasya and was a classmate of Aqsara'i. Hajji Kutlu Shah appointed him as the emir of Amasya and sent his older brother and former Emir of Amasya, Shihab al-Dīn Aḥmad Shah, to govern Sivas, departing to fight off the Karamanids.[6] When Kutlu Shah died, Shadgeldi was forced out of Amasya by ʿAlāʾ al-Dīn ʿAlī Beg, since most of the military was away with his father.[8]
