About
Kaykaus II or Kayka'us II (Arabic/Persian: , 'Izz al-Din Kayka'us bin Kaykhusraw; Turkish: ) was the eldest of three sons of Kaykhusraw II. He was a youth at the time of his father’s death in 1246 and could do little to prevent the Mongol subjugation of Anatolia. For most of his tenure as the Seljuq Sultan of Rûm, he shared the throne with one or both of his brothers, Kilij Arslan IV and Kayqubad II. His mother was the daughter of a Greek priest, and it was the Greeks of Nicaea from whom he consistently sought aid throughout his life. Baiju threatened him and warned him of giving his Mongol cavalries new pastures in Anatolia and too late to pay tax. The Mongols defeated him and he,who defied Baiju, fled to the Byzantine Balkan in 1256. The Byzantine court detained him, though, they welcomed him as usual. So Kaykaus' brother Kayqubad appealed to Berke Khan of the Golden Horde. Nogai invaded the Empire in 1265 and released him and his men after Michael detained an envoy from Cairo to Berke. Berke gave Kaykaus appanage in Crimea and had him married the Mongol woman. He died an exile in 1279 or 1280 in the Crimea.
