Battle of Köse Dağ (1243)

On the Mongol Empire map as “Köse Dağ”

26 Jun 1243 — The Seljuk sultanate of Rûm, the great power of Anatolia, breaks against Baiju’s smaller army in a single afternoon. The sultan becomes a tax-paying vassal — the model client: no occupation, just tribute, census and obedience.
