The Beylik's last ruler was replaced by his vizierKadı Burhaneddin who reigned in the same region for another eighteen years, a period some sources consider as a continuation of the same institutional structure, while other sources treat it separately.
The dynasty's founder, Eretna, was an officer of Uyghur origin in the service of Timurtash, the Ilkhanid governor of Anatolia, and who revolted in 1326 to found his own dynasty.
Although short-lived, the Beylik of Eretna left important works of architecture.
