He was the son of Kilij Arslan IV, the weak representative of the Seljuq line who was controlled by the Pervane, Mu’in al-Din Suleyman.

Henri Grégoire, on the other hand, refuted this as implausible, because a 13th-century text written by Ibn Bibi clearly distinguishes Dazimon and Tokat as separate places. Instead, he said, Tokat s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Parwana (title)
''Parwāna'' or ''pervāne'' ( fa, پروانه, 'butterfly') was a court title of the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum (1077–1308).

It may have originally denoted the messages themselves before coming to apply to the messenger.Claude Cahen (trans. J. Jones-Williams), ''Pre-Ottoman Turkey: A General Survey of the Material and Spiritual Culture and History, c. 1071–1330'' (Taplinger, 1968), pp. 221–222.
