Summary
He was a leading member of the Turkman Isfandiyār Oghlu (also Qizil Aḥmedlu).
He was the ruler of Kastamonu and Sinop (805-43), by the Black Sea, after the dynasty’s restoration by Timur.
He was related through marriage to al-Nāṣir Faraj as well as to the Ottoman sultan Murād II. His son was ʾIbrāhīm b. ʾIsfandiyār (r. 843-57).
He hosted the amir Baysaq al-Shaykhī in Sinop during his bannishment from Egypt and Syria, and he offered refuge to the amir Jānibak al-Ṣūfī —al-ʾAshraf Barsbāy’s nemesis— in the 830s.
