Shah Budak

Shah Budak (Turkish: Şah Budak) was a bey of Beylik of Dulkadir, a Turkish beylik (principality) in Anatolia

Background

Dulkadir was a semi independent beylik under the sovereignty of the Mamluk Egypt. The beylik was located around Kahramanmaraş and Elbistan, which made the beylik a buffer territory of the Mamluks against the Ottoman Empire.

First term

Melik Aslan, Shah Budak's elder brother was the bey of the Dulkarids. After he was defeated by Uzun Hasan, the sultan of the Akkoyunlu, ( a Turkmen sultanate in the East Anatolia) Melik Aslan went to Cairo to seek support. In Cairo, Shah Budak killed him and the Mamluks appointed Shah Budak as the new bey in 1465. But in his beylik he was accused of being a brother murderer and in the battle fought around the Zamantı River, he was defeated by his other brother Şahsuvar who had the support of the Ottoman Empire.[1] In 1467, he escaped to Egypt. Although the Mamluks tried to replace him with his cousin Rüstem, it was Şahsuvar who took over .[2]

Second term

In 1472, Şahsuvar was deposed and later executed by the Mamluks and Shah Budak once again was appointed as the new bey. However Ottomans were displeased to see the end of their candidate. They supported Bozkurt (or Alahüddevle), a third brother of Shah Budak to throne. In 1480 Bozkurt defeated Shah Budak and became the new bey.[2]

gollark: My favourite esolang is probably Haskell.
gollark: I agree.
gollark: I prefer the set dictionaries.
gollark: ``` A language based on the idea of communism. There would be only one great editor (a wiki or similar) and all programmers would write only one big program that does everything. There would be only one datatype that fits everything, so everything belongs to one single class. Functional programming is clearly based on the idea of communism. It elevates functions (things that do the work) to first class citizens, and it is a utopian endeavor aimed at abolishing all states. It is seen as inefficient and unpopular, but always has die-hard defenders, mostly in academia. Besides, ML stands for Marxism-Leninism. Coincidence? I think not. It should be called Soviet Script and the one big program can be called the Universal Soviet Script Repository or USSR for short. And they put all the packages together in one place (Hackage). It already exists and is called 'Web'. It already exists and is called 'Emacs'. Emacs is the one great editor, and the one big program (Emacs can do almost anything). The language is Emacs Lisp, which is functional, and almost everything is a list (the one great datatype/class). Unfortunately```
gollark: It's pronounced Piephoon, by the way.
