Ala ad-Din Kayqubad I
1188 CE–1237 CE · Konya
Ala ad-Din Kayqubad I presided over the height of the Sultanate of Rum (reigned 1220–1237), whose court became a major center of Persianate art and architecture. He extended the sultanate's frontiers, secured Black Sea and Mediterranean coastal territory, and undertook extensive building, including the fortification of Konya and the port of Alanya. Toward the end of his reign he faced the growing threat of the advancing Mongols. He died in 1237, after which the sultanate declined into Mongol vassalage.
