Eşrefoğulları
Beyşehir with the Esrefoğlu Mosque
The Eşrefoğulları , also Eschrefiden or Aschrafiden , were a Turkish Uc - Beylik that existed between approx. 1280 and 1326. The center of the Beylik was Beyşehir .
The progenitor of the dynasty was a Seyfeddin Süleyman ibn Eşref. His son Mubariz al-Dîn Muhammad was able to extend the territory to Akşehir .
The Eşrefoğulları were in permanent conflict with the neighboring Karamanids over influence in Konya .
The Beylik went under when the Tschupanide Timurtaş conquered Beyşehir in 1326 and, according to legend, drowned the last Eşrefoğlu Bey in a sack in the Beyşehir Gölü . The territory of the Eşrefoğulları was divided by the neighboring Karamanids and Hamidoğulları .
