Kulij-Arsalan was the son of Kazil-Arsalan, who was the son of Mas’ud, son of Mahmud, son of Malik Shah. He assumed the sovereignty of Rum after the death of his father, and became a very great and powerful monarch. He possessed himself of the territories upon the confines of Rum, captured many fortresses and strongholds, performed many heroic exploits, and acquired a great name on account of the infidel Afranj having been often worsted and overthrown by him.
All the Sultans of Rum glory in their connexion with him ; and he obtained the felicity of martyrdom. He was interred at Kuniah which is a large city in Rum.
