Jahan Shah bin Tughril
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rukn al-Din Jahanshah bin Tughril (r.1225-1230) was a Turkoman king of the "Seljuqs of Erzurum".[2] He was a son of Tughril ibn Kılıç Arslan II, also ruler of Erzurum (r.1202-1225). Jahanshah was a grandson of Kilij Arslan II, who had partitionned his kingdom in Anatolia between his numerous sons.
Before the 1201-1202 conquest of Ezurum by Suleiman II of Rûm, son of Kilij Arslan II, the region of Erzerum had been ruled by a local Turkoman dynasty, the Saltukids from 1071 until 1202.[3] During 30 years after this conquest, Erzurum was ruled by the two Seljuq princes Tughril ibn Kılıç Arslan II and Jahan Shah bin Tughril as an appanage.[3]
Jahanshah bin Tughril participated to the Siege of Ahlat.[4]
He also allied with the Khwarizmian Shah Jalal al-Din, until he was defeated at the Battle of Yassı Çimen in 1230.[5]
The region of Erzurum was incorporated into the Sultanate of Kay Qubadh I in 627/1230.[3]
