The last Sultans of the Seljuk state in Anatolia
Ghiyasuddin Masoud II and Alaeddin Keyqubad III
Sultan Ghiyath al-Din Masoud II ruled for a period of twenty-two years, from July 14, 1281 – 1297, so he was dismissed in 1297 by the Mongols, and his nephew Alaeddin was installed in his place. He ruled from 1302 – 1308
Mas’ud II became king of Uluporli in early 1301
As for Kayqubad III, he received Ghazan Khan on the Syrian border upon his return after his second unsuccessful invasion of Syria against the Mamluks, so he deserved the thanks of the Khan. As a result, Ghazan Khan befriended the Sultanate of Kayqubad III on Anatolia from Antalya to Erzurum and from Sinop to Diyarbakir. Kayqubad III came to Kharbut and chose Sivas as his capital. After a while, a delegation to Konya, but this action aroused the discontent of Ghazan Khan, so he summoned him to Isfahan, and after months of his exclusion from the throne, he was killed by one of his followers, so his uncle Masoud II, who was in Hamadan, ascended the throne of the Seljuk state again, and chose Kayseri as his capital, and he remained there for six Years passed without incident.
Masoud II died in 1308 in Kayseri, and thus the rule of the Seljuk dynasty that ruled Anatolia ended, and the last Emir of the Roman Seljuk state, Ghazi Celebi, remained in Sinop as a follower of the Ilkhanids until 1355, and neither Ghazi Celebi nor other Seljuks sat on the Seljuk throne. rum.
