Lâdiklidir. Oranın ümerâsından Mehmed Bey bin Mes’ûd bin Yeni Bey’in mahdûmudur. Amasyalı Şâdî Beyzâde Şâh Melik Paşa’nın kethüdâsı olarak tefeyyüz edib ümerâdan oldu. Varna, İstanbul muhârebâtında [428] isbât-ı vücûd etdi.
Ba’dehû Filibe Sancakbeyi olup Rûmeli Beylerbeyi Dayı Karaca Paşa’nın ma’iyyetinde bulunarak Belgrad Harbi’nde 860’da her ikisi de şehîden vefât etdi. Meşâhîr-i ümerâdan sâdık, şecî’ idi.
He was from Lâdik. He was the son of Mehmed Bey, one of the beys of that place, who was the son of Mes'ûd, son of Yeni Bey. Having risen as steward to Şâh Melik Pasha, the Şâdî Beyzâde of Amasya, he became one of the beys. He proved himself in the wars of Varna and Istanbul.
Later he became Sanjak-bey of Filibe and served under Dayı Karaca Pasha, Beylerbeyi of Rumelia; in the Battle of Belgrade in 860 [1455-56] both fell as martyrs. He was one of the well-known beys, loyal and brave.
The "Dayı Karaca Pasha" of the text was the Beylerbeyi of Rumelia in the time of Mehmed the Conqueror. According to the common view, the epithet "Dayı" comes from his being the maternal uncle of Şehzade Alâeddin, son of Murad II. The siege of Belgrade lasted from 4 to 22 July 1456. Mehmed had the walls battered with cannon; the siege ended in a Hungarian victory. A cannonball fired by the defenders killed Karaca Pasha. Hüsameddin's year 860 corresponds to 1455-56 in the Gregorian calendar and agrees with this date. That Mehmed Bey fell as a martyr together with Karaca Pasha, that he was sanjak-bey of Filibe, and that he had earlier taken part in the wars of Varna and Istanbul could not be verified in the sources read.
Hüsameddin mentions several people of Lâdik belonging to the line of Yeni Bey; one of them is Bâlî Çelebi in entry 488. Abdülkadir Özcan writes that Grand Vizier Tayyar Mehmed Pasha "is reported to have come from the line of Yeni Bey of Lâdik" and cites Hüsameddin's book for this. This shows that the family of Yeni Bey was known in Lâdik, but the source remains Hüsameddin.
No information on Şâdî Beyzâde Şâh Melik Pasha or Mehmed Bey, son of Mes'ûd, was found in other sources.
