Description
- The Sultanate of Rûm (1077–1308) was the Anatolian Seljuk state — Rûm meaning "Rome", referring to the Byzantine lands they conquered after Manzikert (1071)
- Construction: a deep blue field bearing a white double-headed eagle overlaid with the Kınık tamga (bow and arrow) — fusing Byzantine heraldic imagery with the Great Seljuks' clan mark
- The double-headed eagle later passed from the Seljuks to the Palaeologan Byzantines, and onward to Russian, Albanian, and Habsburg heraldry
Trivia
- Capital at Konya for most of its history; ruled much of central Anatolia
- Collapsed into Beyliks (principalities) after the Mongol invasion; one of these — the Osmanli Beylik — became the Ottoman Empire
- Host to the poet Rumi, who took his name from this sultanate (the "Land of Rûm")
