In 1243, the Seljuk Empire was defeated by the Mongol army in the Battle of Kosedag, leading to Mongol rule over Anatolia for 80 years. Over the years, as the Mongol hold weakened, The Byzantines asserted greater control over the region, with small local Turkish principalities also developing alongside.
