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.
This is one scene of Chapter 7 — The Machinery of Empire in The Mongol Empire, 1206–1294.
