Charting the expansion of the Rum Seljuqs from rulers of a small
principality to a fully- fledged sultanate ruling over almost the
whole of Anatolia, this book demonstrates how ideology, rather than
military success, was crucial in this development. The Rum Seljuqs
examines four distinct phases of development, beginning with the
rule of Sulayman (473-478/1081-1086) and ending with the rule of
Kay Khusraw II (634-644/ 1237-1246). Firstly, Songul Mecit examines
the Great Seljuq ideology as a pre-cursor to the ideology of the
Rum Seljuqs. Continuing to explore the foundation of the Seljuq
principality in Nicaea, the book then examines the third phase and
the period of decline for the Great Seljuqs. Finally, the book
turns to the apogee of the Rum Seljuq state and questions whether
these sultans can, at this stage, be considered truly Perso-Islamic
rulers? Employing the few available Rum Seljuq primary sources in
Arabic and Persian, and drawing on the evidence of coins and
monumental inscriptions, this book will be of use to scholars and
students of History and Middle East Studies.
