Kay Khusrau I
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kay Khusrau I (Turkish spelling: Keyhüsrev), the eleventh and youngest son of Izz ad-Din Kılıj Arslan II, was a Seljuk sultan of Rüm. He succeeded his father in 1192, but had to fight his brothers for control of the Sultanate. He ruled it 1192–1196 and 1205–1211.
He married a daughter of Manuel Maurozomes, son of Theodore Maurozomes and of an illegitimate daughter of the Byzantine emperor Manuel I Komnenos. Manuel Maurozomes fought on behalf of Kay Khusrau in 1205 and 1206.
He was killed in single combat by the emperor of Nicaea, Theodore I Laskaris, in 1211.
His son by Manuel Maurozomes' daughter, Ala ad-Din Kay Qubadh I, ruled the Sultanate from 1220 to 1237, and his grandson, Ghiyath ad-Din Kay Khusrau II, ruled from 1237 to 1246.
