Demir Khan

Demir Khan ruled the Karasid beylik at Balıkesir, while his brother Yakhshi Khan held Bergama. With his Marmara fleet he raided the southern Balkan coasts until Emperor Andronikos III made a truce at Biga in 1328. In 1333 he received Ibn Battuta, who wrote that his people disliked him.

His commanders turned to his brother Dursun, supported by the Ottoman Orhan; Demir had Dursun killed, after which Orhan annexed the beylik and exiled Demir to Bursa, where he died of plague.
