Felekuddin Dündar

Felekuddin Dündar was a Turkmen ruler who co-governed the Hamid principality in southwestern Anatolia around the early 14th century. The principality had two capitals, one in Eğridir and another in Antalya. Dündar ruled jointly with his brother Yunus.1

His rule was cut short when he was defeated and killed in 1324 by Demirtas, the Il-Khanid governor of Anatolia. Although Eğridir was later restored by Dündar's sons as a dependency of the Ottoman Turks, the Antalya branch faced occupation by a Christian force from Cyprus. The entire principality was eventually reincorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1423 after the last Hamid ruler was defeated. The Hamid principality was strategically and commercially important due to its location on a key route from Antalya to the Mongol empire.1
