Not who you're looking for? Others named Nasir al-Din Muhammad: malik of Mihrabanid dynasty
Nasir al-Din Mehmed Beg was the ruler of Dulkadir, a state in southern Anatolia, from 1399 until his death. After his father, Ghars al-Din Khalil, died, Mehmed repudiated the reign of his uncle, Shaban Suli and clashed with him on several occasions, relying on the support of the Mamluk Sultanate that ruled Egypt and Syria. Following Suli's murder, his son, Sadaqa, rose to the throne. Mehmed succeeded in claiming power shortly after with the intervention of the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I. During the Ottoman Interregnum (1402–1413), Mehmed supported Bayezid's son Mehmed Chelebi, who became the new sultan. While Nasir al-Din Mehmed was involved in sporadic skirmishes with the Mamluks, he enjoyed peace with them towards the end of his reign, marrying his daughter to the Mamluk Sultan Jaqmaq and commissioning the construction of madrasas and other buildings in Mamluk-controlled regions, such as Jerusalem.
