72 - Al-Sultan Al-Azam

The second reign of Keyhüsrev begins in Konya. The court in Konya exerts its power over Anatolia, and with the Great Seljuk Empire gone, the Roman Sultan takes upon himself the mantle of the sole successor to the inheritance of Seljuk. Court officials arrive from the East in Konya, bringing with them the skill and cultural capital of the more central lands of Islam, and the building works in Konya accelerate. Meanwhile, Keyhüsrev clashes with Theodore Laskris, the Emperor of Nicea, and ultimately brings the Turkish armies to the walls of the great port city of Antalya.
