The Anatolian beylik of Mente (12601424), with capital in Milas in southwest Anatolia and headquartered in Bein castle near that city, was one of the frontier principalities established by Oghuz Turkish clans after the decline of the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum. The Beylik was named after its founder, Mente Bey. The beylik's core territory corresponded roughly to present-day Mula Province in Turkey, including the province's three protruding peninsulas. Among important centers of the Beylik were the cities of Bein, Milas, Balat, Elmali, Finike, Ka, Mar (Fethiye after 1911), Mula, ameli, Acpayam, Tavas, Bozdoan and ine. The city of Aydn (formerly Tralles) was controlled by this Beylik for a time and was named Gzelhisar under the Mentee. They later transferred it to their northern neighbors of Aydinids who renamed the city after the founder of their dynasty. Beys of Mente also held Rhodes between 13001314 and were a serious regional naval power of their time. They also left important works of architecture such as the Firuz Bey Mosque in Milas and lyas Bey Mosque in Balat. Mente Beys submitted to Ottoman power for the first time in 1390 under the reign of Bayezid I the Thunderbolt. After 1402, Tamerlane restored the beylik to Menteolu lyas Bey, who later recognized Ottoman sovereignty in 1414. It was incorporated into the Ottoman realm in a definite manner in 1424. The present-day Mula Province of Turkey was named the sub-province (sanjak) of Mentee until the early years of the Republic of Turkey, although the province seat was moved from Milas to Mula with the establishment of

Mentee (beylik) Ottoman rule in the 15th century.
