He first appears
circa 1283 as a pretender to the Seljuk throne. He was recognized by the Turkish
Karamanids, but he was defeated by
vizier Fakhr al-Din Ali and
Kaykhusraw III and sought refuge in
Cilician Armenia. Nothing is known of his movements again until 1298, when he was appointed to the sultanate by the
Ilkhan Mahmud Ghazan upon the downfall of
Masud II. He purged the Seljuq administration of his predecessor’s men with extreme violence and became deeply unpopular; as a result when he visited the Ilkhan in 1302, he was executed and replaced with his predecessor
Mesud II in order to keep the peace. ==Sources==
