1241 CE

Kaykhusraw, with the support of the great emirs of Anatolia, had seized the throne of the Sultanate of Rûm upon the death of Kayqubad in 1237.

The architect of his early reign is a certain Sa'd al-Din Köpek, master of the hunt and minister of works under Kayqubad.

Köpek excels at political murder and seeks to protect his newfound influence at the court with a series of executions.

He captures Diyarbakir from the Ayyubids in 1241.
