Shahruh Mehmed


Shahruh Mehmed Beg was the Dulkadirid sanjak-bey of Kırşehir from 1500 until his death. He was the son of Ala al-Dawla Bozkurt, Beg of Dulkadir, who ruled from 1480 to 1515.
Amid an attempt to overthrow Bozkurt, Shahruh's uncle Shah Budak blinded him in Kırşehir. Shahruh died in the spring of 1510 fighting the forces of Mohammad Khan Ustajlu, a Safavid commander, near Diyarbekir.
