THE SELJUK KINGDOM OF "RUM" (Asia Minor)

While thus Syria was returning to Moslem rule, although under Egyptian rather than Turkish auspices, the interior of Asia Minor remained as seen under the Seljuks. The sultan of the Turks in that peninsula had been forced by the Crusaders to withdraw his capital from Nicaea to Konya (Iconium). From 1100 well down to 1280 the Seljuk power in the interior of Asia Minor was by no means so stable, but that a resolute attack could have destroyed it altogether. We have seen how, nevertheless, the Greek Emperors failed ever to find the resources for such an attack, and therefore the "Sultans of Iconium" lived on for nigh two centuries, seldom strong enough to make themselves well obeyed by the emirs of the outlying districts, but gradually (by the mere continuance of their rule in the region) changing the hinterland of Asia Minor into a thoroughly Mohammedanized country. During this era there was a constant trickling of Turanian nomads into their dominions; mostly coming apparently in small bands from Central Asia, forced on by the great upheavals caused by the Mongols and their rivals. Some of these bands were probably pagan when they entered Asia Minor, though they were readily converted to Islam, but in any case the arrival of these nomads of course made the problem of preserving civilized life in the country more difficult than ever.
