Sivaslıdır. Sivas emîri “Horos Bey” demekle meşhûr Alâeddîn Ali Bey bin Mehmed Bey bin Eratna Hân’ın mahdûmudur. Pederinin irtihâlinde küçük olduğundan buna vesâyetle Kadı Burhâneddîn Ahmed Kayserî, hâkim-i Sivas oldu.
785’de Kadı Burhan’ın gadri hissedildiğinden kaçıp Amasya hükümdârı Emîr Fahreddîn Ahmed Çelebi’ye ilticâ etdi. Amasya, Osmanlı pâdişâhlarına arz-ı inkıyâd etdikde ağır zeâmetle kayrıldı. 804’de Timur harbinde gâib oldu. Ümerâdan olup Zile emîri idi. Mahdûmu Ca’fer Bey’dir. [235]
He is from Sivas. He is the son of the emir of Sivas, Alâeddin Ali Bey, known as "Horos Bey"; Ali Bey was the son of Mehmed Bey, and Mehmed Bey the son of Eretna Khan. Because he was young when his father died, Kadı Burhâneddin Ahmed Kayserî, acting as his guardian, became the ruler of Sivas.
In 785 [1383-84], when Kadı Burhan's injustice was felt, he fled and took refuge with the ruler of Amasya, Emir Fahreddin Ahmed Çelebi. When Amasya submitted to the Ottoman sultans, he was rewarded with a large zeamet (a large military fief). In 804 [1401-02] he was lost in the war with Timur. He was one of the emirs and was emir of Zile. His son is Ca'fer Bey.
The Eratna Khan named in the entry is Alâeddin Eretna, who founded a principality centered on Sivas and Kayseri that lasted in Anatolia from 1335 to 1381. Eretna died in Kayseri in 1352. His son Mehmed Bey, who succeeded him, was killed in Sivas in October 1365 by dissatisfied statesmen. His thirteen-year-old son Ali Bey was proclaimed ruler with the title Alâeddin in his place. This is the man Hüsameddin names as Esen Bey's father. During Ali Bey's reign state authority could not be established; emirs such as Hacı Şadgeldi in Amasya, Hacı İbrahim in Sivas and Şeyh Necib in Tokat began to act on their own. Kadı Burhâneddin rose to the vizierate in 1378 and urged Ali Bey to campaign against places such as Amasya, Niğde and Aksaray. Ali Bey caught the plague during his second Amasya campaign and died in 782 (1380); he was buried in the tomb in the courtyard of the Köşkmedrese in Kayseri.
Hüsameddin's sentence that Esen Bey was young when his father died and that Kadı Burhâneddin became his guardian agrees with this historical framework. According to the Eretnid records, Ali Bey's seven-year-old son Mehmed II was placed on the throne in his place; Kılıcarslan, of the Seljuk line, was chosen as deputy, and when he was eliminated in 1381 Kadı Burhâneddin himself became deputy and, in the autumn of that year, proclaimed his own sultanate and ended Eretnid rule. Whether the man Hüsameddin calls "Esen Bey" is the same as this Mehmed II is not stated in the sources read. Since the name "Esen" does not appear in the Eretnid record that was read, the identification is only an inference; no basis was found for the nickname "Horos Bey" either. Hüsameddin's description "emir of Sivas" appears apt, since Ali Bey ruled in Sivas.
Esen Bey's flight to Amasya in 785 (1383-84) is an understandable choice. The emir of Amasya, Hacı Şadgeldi, had been one of Kadı Burhâneddin's greatest rivals. Şadgeldi was defeated and killed by Kadı Burhâneddin at Tokat in Ramazan 783 (1381). The emirate of Amasya passed to his son Ahmed; it may be thought that the "Emir Fahreddin Ahmed Çelebi" of Hüsameddin is this Ahmed, but this too is an inference. The emirate of Amasya is reported to have ended in 805 (1403). Hüsameddin's phrase "when Amasya submitted to the Ottoman sultans" points to this transition; it may be thought that the heavy zeamet given to Esen Bey was given at that time. In the reign of which sultan it was given, and where the zeamet lay, is not written in the text. It is noteworthy that Esen Bey's end is given as disappearing in the "war with Timur" in 804 (1401-02); in which unit and in which engagement Esen Bey served is not stated.
Hüsameddin mentions Esen Bey as emir of Zile. Zile is counted among the places under Eretna's rule, but the sources read contain no record of when and with what authority Esen Bey was in Zile. No other information was found about his son Ca'fer Bey either. One of Eretna's sons also bore the name Ca'fer, but there is no source for establishing a link between the two.
