Kilij Arslan II
1113 CE–1192 CE · Konya
Kilij Arslan II ruled the Sultanate of Rum for over three decades (1156–1192) and made it the dominant power in central Anatolia. His victory over the Byzantine emperor Manuel I Komnenos at the Battle of Myriokephalon in 1176 confirmed lasting Turkish control of the Anatolian interior. Late in life he divided his realm among his numerous sons, which produced internal conflict. He died in 1192.
