Meliksah Sultan & The Seljuk Sultanate of Rum

Meliksah Sultan was the ruler of the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum between 1072-1092. He is a key historical figure in Muslim history, specifically Turkish Muslim history.

It was Meliksah that defeated the Byzantine Empire in Anatolia and established the Anatolian Seljuklu State. He was a military leader that dreamed of expanding the Muslim Sultanate of Rum. His greatest aspiration was to stop the political wars between Muslim groups like the Karkhanids, Ghaznavids, etc, and unite all Muslim states to establish a Islamic Union.

In his reign, the Muslims collectively reconquered Mosul, Jerusalem, Dimesk, Aleppo, Lazkiye, Gence, Caucasia, Kars, Oltu, Erzurum. While Trabzon, Azarbaijan, Bukhara, Semerkant, Hijaz, and Yemen were also incorporated into Seljuk lands.

However, Meliksah is most lauded for establishing the madrassah system for education, allotting funds for education, and focusing on the protection of scientists, scholars, artists, etc.

It is said even the Christians of Anatolia preferred his rule with hegemony and civil rights, unlike that of the Georgian Christian kingdom they were previously a part of.
