Muhammad II Chelebi

Muhammad II Chelebi was the fourth and last Sultan of the Eretnids. He was crowned when he was 7 years old, after his father died in August 1380 from the plague. His regent was Kadi Burhan al-Din, who proclaimed himself as the ruler by January 1381.

Sometime after Kadi Burhan al-Din's usurpation of the rule, a certain Ahi Nawruz planned the assassination of Kadi Burhan al-Din and likely agreed with Muhammad, as he planned to reinstall him as the ruler. Though this faction was promptly extinguished by Kadi Burhan al-Din, while Muhammad was spared. In the spring of 1387, dignitaries from Sivas, Sarraf Bayezid, Ahi Muhammad, Ahi Nasr al-Din, Emir-i Hajj, and a certain Christian priest, incited Muhammad to take over the throne as Kadi Burhan al-Din was away resting at a summer pasture. This revolt was repressed by one of the commanders of Kadi Burhan al-Din, who didn't view the revolt as a major threat.

According to Ibn Khaldun and Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, Muhammad was killed by Kadi Burhan al-Din in 1390.

Family Muhammad is reputed to have had 2 sons, Yusuf Chelebi (died 1434) and Ahmad (d. 1433), and 3 daughters, Neslikhan Khatun (d. 1455), Aisha (d. 1436), and Fatima (d. 1430). Ahmad had a son named Muhammad (d. 1443) and grandson Ahmad, who was attested to be living in 1477.
