Suleiman of Dulkadir
Beg of Dulkadir from 1442 to 1454 / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Suleiman Beg (Turkish: Süleyman Bey; died 28 August 1454) was the ruler of Dulkadir from 1442 until his death. During the reign of his father's, Nasir al-Din Mehmed (r. 1399–1442), he served as the wali (governor) of Kayseri. His reign was relatively uneventful. His major accomplishment was the arrangement of the political marriages of his daughters to the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II (r. 1444–46, 1451–81) and the regnant Mamluk Sultan Sayf al-Din Jaqmaq (r. 1438–53). Towards the end of his reign, Suleiman was involved in the internal struggle of the Aq Qoyunlu and led an unsuccessful siege on Çemişgezek. He had numerous offspring, among whom four sons would consecutively rule the state. He was succeeded by Malik Arslan (r. 1454–66).
