Region of Erzurum ( )

Before the 1201–1202 conquest of Erzurum by Suleiman II of Rûm, son of Kilij Arslan II, the region of Erzurum had been ruled by a local Turkoman dynasty, the Saltukids from 1071 until 1202.^[3] During the 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 1230.^[3]
