Nûre Sûfi Bey (Turkish : Nureddin Bey ) was the founder of Karamanid dynasty , a Turkish dynasty which ruled part of Anatolia in the 14th and 15th centuries as a rival of the Ottoman Empire . He was the son of Hodja Sad al-Din (Turkish : Hoca Sadeddin ) who had come from Arran , staying for some years near Sivas .
This, when generalized, is a reference to the actual migrations brought about by Khwārizmian and Mongol pressure, and moreover it suggests some perceptible connection, if not precisely with Baba Ishak , at least with circles influenced by religious influence of that kind - there is a reference to a Khorasanian Șūfī , Baba Ilyās, with whom both Nûre Sûfi and Baba Ishāq are said to have been in touch - and also to the fact that the first chiefs who brought in these Turkmens were equally leaders in the field of religion.[1]
Nure Sofi was a member of Afşar tribe of Turkmens.[2] Originally living in West Turkmenistan (i.e., modern Balkan Province ) the tribe moved west to Anatolia in 1228 probably to escape from the invading Mongols . They were welcomed by Alaattin Keykubat I of the Sultanate of Rum and they were settled around Ermenek (now a district in Karaman Province ) Nure Sofi's original position in the tribe is not known. According to some he was dealing with coal trade between Ermenek and the Seljuk cities to the north [3] But he soon proved himself as a leader during Babai Revolt in which he was the partisan of Baba İshak. He also captured many small settlements around Ermenek to form the core of the future Karamanoğlu Beylik.[4]
According to historian Shikari, Nûre Sûfi Bey was more interested in Sufi religious matters (he was a disciple of Baba Ilyās) than in politics and military and named his son Kerîmeddin Karaman Bey in commandment in order for him to follow a life of solitude.
He died probably around 1257. His tomb is in Değirmenlik , a location in Mut district of Mersin Province [4]
He was succeeded by his son Karaman Bey who assumed full power upon his death.
Nûre Sûfi fathered two other sons: Zayn al-Hadjdj (died in battle in 1262, fighting for Izz al-Din Kaykaus against Rukn al-Din Kaykubad), Bünsuz, and a daughter (who died in 1282).
