Anatolian Seljuks family tree
Anatolian Seljuks (also called Seljuks of Rum and Seljuks of Turkey) was a former dynasty in Turkey. Süleyman, the founder of the dynasty, was a member of the Seljuk dynasty. His grand father was Seljuk Bey's elder son. In 1077, after capturing Nicaea (modern İznik), Süleyman founded his kingdom as a vassal of the main Seljuk Empire. However, the Seljuks of Anatolia soon became independent of the main empire, and their state survived till the beginning of the 14th century. [1][2]
