Scholar and politician (b. 1357, Simavna / Edirne - d. 1420, Serez). He began his education with lessons from his father İsmail Efendi and continued at schools in Bursa and Konya. He took private lessons in Jerusalem, Mecca and Egypt. He later worked as a teacher for the princes at the palace. When he returned home, he was appointed as a judge in the period of Musa Çelebi. He was exiled to İznik by Mehmet Çelebi, who had usurped Musa Çelebi in the struggle for the sultanate. Due to his increasing support in İznik and regarding the public criticism of this as a threat, the Sultan sent troops on his caliphs. His caliph, Börklüce Mustafa and his supporters were killed in the province of Karaburun. His other caliph, Torlak Kemal was seized in Manisa and immediately executed. Bedreddin tried to flee to Turkmenistan, however he failed. According to a rumor, he was captured by the troops of Mehmet Çelebi and was executed in the town of Serez. He is famous for his work, Vâridat (Inspirations) and the epic written about him by Nazım Hikmet in the Republican period.
