Süleyman of Karaman

Seyfeddin Süleyman was the elder son of the Karamanid bey Alâeddin Halil and governed Ermenek for his uncle Musa when Musa died in 1356 and he succeeded as bey. He appointed his brother Alâattin Ali governor of Ermenek; after Ali defeated a hostile coalition, its losers allied with Mehmet of the neighboring Eretna beylik against Süleyman.

In 1361, on his way to an old soldier’s funeral, Süleyman was assassinated. Turkish chroniclers remember him as a pious, kindly ruler, and his tomb stands in Konya.
