A Principality In Southwest Anatolia In The Post-Selçuk Era: Eşrefoğullari
Öz
Eşrefoğulları of Beyşehir and Seydişehir area, is a Turcomen settlement of the 13th century. In spite of the limited information about the establishor Eşref Bey, the major contributor to the settlement is accepted to be his son, Seyfeddin Süleyman Bey, who has acceded to the annexation of Konya, along with the neighboring settlemnts Karamanoğlu and Menteşeoğlu, on May 15, 1277. In 1282, while Karamanoğlu reattacked Konya, Seyfeddin Süleyaman Bey, took part in plundering Alaşehir. Afterwards, in the beginning of 1288, raiding a district of Erzurum, Ilgın, Seyfeddin Süleyman Bey announced his obedience to Sultan II. Mesud of Konya and moved the capital of his settlement from Gorgorum to the newly built Beyşehir. He contributed a lot to the rebuilding of Beyşehir with bedesten (a large shopping area of local products) of 31 stores along with Eşrefoğlu Mosque and Eşrefoğlu han (inn) which lied 15 metres west of hamam.
Declaring independence in 1299, following enlargement of borders to Seydişehir and Bozkır to the south of the Middle Anatolia, and Doğanhisar and Şarkikaraağaç to the north, Seyfeddin Süleyman Bey passed away in August 1302 and his oldest son Mehmet Bey took the reign. Mehmed Bey was among the ones, who paid a visit to the famous Mongolian raider/leader Emir Çoban in 1314 and acquired Bolvadin in 1320, before his death in the same year. Following him, his son II. Süleyman, an ardous leader, was assassinated by Mongolian revengeful vali Demirtaş in 1326 and Eşrefoğulları settlement came to the halting era.
