On the Mongol Empire map as “Köse Dağ”

26 Jun 1243 — Baiju’s smaller army defeats the Seljuk sultanate of Rûm, the great power of Anatolia, in a single afternoon. The sultan remains in place as a tax-paying vassal. Mongol rule here takes the form of tribute, a census and obedience, without occupation.
