Naming
[edit]See Talk:Kaykhusraw II for the standard transliteration of the sultan's name in English language academic literature. Aramgar 15:53, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Kaykhusraw or Keyhüsrev
[edit]For several months now, there has been some debate as to which spelling of the sultan’s name is the most appropriate title for this article in English Wikipedia. The spelling current in English language academic literature is “Kaykhusraw.” Some Wikipedia editors prefer the Turkish spelling “Keyhüsrev,” which is understandable given the sultan’s role in Anatolian history and Turkish civilization. Still, “Kaykhusraw” is the form most familiar to readers of English, and Wikipedia Naming Conventions suggest that we use this form. Below is a list of credible English language sources. All use the spelling “Kaykhusraw.” The first two books in the list are the essential English language references for the history of the Seljuks of Rum.
- ”Kaykhusraw” Speros Vryonis, The Decline of Medieval Hellenism in Asia Minor and the Process of Islamization from the Eleventh through the Fifteenth Century (University of California Press, 1971), p. 134.
- ”Kaykhusraw” Claude Cahen, Pre-Ottoman Turkey: A General Survey of the Material and Spiritual Culture and History, c. 1071-1330 (Taplinger Publishing, 1968), p. 111.
- ”Kaykhusraw” Stephen Album, Checklist of Islamic Coins, 2nd edition (1998), p. 62.
- ”Kaykhusraw” The Glory of Byzantium: Art and Culture of the Middle Byzantine Era, A.D. 843-1261, edited by Helen C. Evans and William D Wixom (New York: Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1997), p. 416.
- ”Kaykhusraw” Jonathan Phillips, The Fourth Crusade (Viking, 2004), p. 191.
- “Kay-khusraw” The Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium (Oxford University Press, 1991), vol. 2, p. 1117.
The title of this article must remain Kaykhusraw I. The articles Kaykhusraw II and Kaykhusraw III are also affected by this information. Aramgar 02:44, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
His death
[edit]Claude Cahen (in "The Formation of Turkey" p 49) says (but without giving any sources) that he was killed when pursuing Byzantine forces led by Theodore Lascaaris near Antioch on the Menderes. The Menderes river is nowhere near Nicaea.
- Kaykhusraw I was killed near Antioch on the Maeander. The Maeander river valley was under the control of the Byzantine successor state called the Empire of Nicaea. This state had its capital at Nicaea and held much of western Anatolia. For the death of Kaykhusraw I at Antioch, I can add the two further sources: George Ostrogorsky, History of the Byzantine State, trans. Joan Hussey (Rutgers University Press, 1969), p. 429; Claude Cahen, Pre-Ottoman Turkey: a general survey of the material and spiritual culture and history c. 1071-1330, trans. J. Jones-Williams (New York: Taplinger, 1968), p. 120.
- On a related topic, there appears to be a serious problem at the article Siege of Nicaea (1210). I can find no evidence for such a siege. The sole reference, a website [1] associated with an Australian cosplay group [2], appears to be misinformed. Aramgar (talk) 00:42, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
