The last years of the Aydın-oghlu

After the death of Isa's sons Musa and Umur II, whom Timur had restored after the battle of Ankara in 1402, power passed to their cousin Junayd (808-828 AH, 1405-1425), son of Ibrahim Bahadur b. Mehmed. He was well known for his intrigues against the Ottomans. 1

Defeat and end

He supported the claims of the pretender Düzmece Mustafa and his son, but was defeated by Murad II and took refuge in the fort of İpsili, from where he tried without success to obtain the help of the Karamanoğlu and of Venice. He was besieged, taken prisoner and executed together with all the members of his family in 829/1425-6. This was the end of the Aydın-oghlu, and the emirate was finally annexed by the Ottomans. 1
