Kai Kobad II.
Kai Kobad II with full name Alā al-Dīn Kayqubād bin Kaykhusraw ( Persian علا الدين كيقبادان بن كيخسرو; * 1238-1239; † 1257 ) was a Seljuk ruler of rum . He was the son of Kai Chosraus II and the Georgian Tamar.
His father lost the important battle of the Köse Dağ against the Ilkhan in 1243 . Kai Chosrau II died in 1246. At that time, Kai Kobad II was seven years old. The sultanate became a vassal of the Mongols. As the representative of the Mongols, the vizier Shams al-Din al-Isfahani supervised the sultans.
He was succeeded by the older Kai Kaus II. However, there were rivalries between the brothers. Another brother Kılıç Arslan IV also claimed the throne. So it came about that for a time three sultans ruled in parallel. Kai Kobad II ruled the area east of the Kizilirmak in Malatya .
As the youngest and weakest of the three brothers, Kai Kobad II died in 1257. It is said that his own emirs murdered him. Another source says that Kai Kobad II was found dead on the way to the Great Khan Möngke in Karakorum .
