Rukn al-Din Jahanshah bin Tughril (r.1225-1230) was a Turkoman king of the "Seljuqs of Erzurum". [2] He was a son of Tughril ibn Kılıç Arslan II, also ruler of Erzurum (r.1202-1225). Jahanshah was a grandson of Kilij Arslan II, who had partitionned his kingdom in Anatolia between his numerous sons.
Before the 1201-1202 conquest of Ezurum by Suleiman II of Rûm, son of Kilij Arslan II, the region of Erzerum had been ruled by a local Turkoman dynasty, the Saltukids from 1071 until 1202. [3] During 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 627/1230. [3]
Tughril, who ruled at Erzurum from 589 to 618/1192–1221, was allotted Elbistan under the original division by Kılıç Arslan II (Cahen 1968: 111), but was then installed at Erzurum when the latter was captured from the Saltukids at the beginning of the thirteeth century. But he broke away from the Seljuk state in 608/1211-12. His son Rukn al-Din Jahan Shah was finally defeated, and Erzurum annexed to the Seljuk state, in 1230, when the Khwarazmshah, Jalal al-Din, with whom Jahan Shah had temporarily allied, was defeated at the battle of Yassı Çimen.
