ʿAli Beg ruled the Eretnid Sultanate in central and eastern Anatolia during a period of growing fragmentation. He inherited the throne as a teenager, while powerful emirs exercised increasing autonomy. The Karamanids temporarily captured Kayseri, and the statesman Qadi Burhan al-Din rose to dominance. ʿAli died of plague during a campaign in 1380, shortly before the Eretnid dynasty collapsed.
