| Additional information |
Umur bin Mehmed ruled Menteshe during one of the most turbulent reshufflings of Anatolian power in the medieval period — the aftermath of Timur's crushing defeat of the Ottomans at Ankara in 1402, which temporarily restored several beyliks that Bayezid I had absorbed. Menteshe was among them, its ruling dynasty briefly reinstated as Ottoman authority collapsed across western Anatolia.
The window was short. Ottoman re-annexation came within decades, making issues from this restoration period chronologically narrow and administratively fragile.
