Kutalmışoğlu Süleymanşah, who is from the Seljuk dynasty, conquered the city of Iznik (1075)and founded the Anatolian Seljuk (Sultanate of Rum). However, as a result of the first crusades, the city of Nicaea had fallen. The Seljuks retreated to Anatolia and Konya was declared the capital. In the 13th century, the Anatolian Seljuks was the most powerful state in Anatolia. However, the Mongols came from the east and set their eyes on Anatolia. As a result of this, the battle of kösedağ took place and Anadolu Selcuklu was defeated. As a result of this, the Anatolian Seljuks , which began to collapse, could not last for a long time and was dissolved in a short time.
