Additional information

Kayqubad III ruled as the last substantive Seljuk sultan of Rûm under conditions of near-total Mongol suzerainty — his coinage issued not from Konya but from provincial mints including Ladik, the Anatolian city the Byzantines had called Laodicea. The Ilkhanate controlled fiscal and military policy; the sultan's name on silver was largely a formality of legitimacy rather than an expression of independent authority.

He was deposed and executed by the Ilkhanid governor in 1302, ending the Seljuk line in Anatolia entirely.
