Mesut of Menteshe

Mesut Bey (died c. 1319) was the second ruler of the Menteşe beylik in southwestern Anatolia, succeeding his father Menteşe Bey. In 1300 his forces seized a large part of Rhodes.

The Hospitaller knights conquered Rhodes in 1308; in 1311 the Genoese allied with Mesut against them after the knights seized their goods. At Beçin Castle Mesut received Ulu Arif Çelebi, a travelling Mevlevi teacher and grandson of Rumi. On his death he was succeeded by his son Orhan.
