Amidst an attempt to overthrow Bozkurt, Shahruh's uncle Shah Budak blinded him in Kırşehir.[1][4] Shahruh died in the spring of 1510 fighting the forces of Mohammad Khan Ustajlu, a Safavid commander, near Diyarbekir.[5]

Family[edit]

Following their father's death, Mehmed and Ali were appointed to a number of military positions by the Safavids.[1] Their brother Malik Arslan was killed by Ali, who was their cousin and the ruler of Dulkadir at the time, at the Battle of Marj Dabiq on 24 August 1516.[6]
