Episode description

The messengers from the Caliph in Baghdad and Sanjar, the Great Sultan of the East, arrive in Kastamonu to find that Emir Ghazi has died before they could proclaim him as King.  Instead, his son Muhammad is granted the title - inevitably leading to conflict between this new King of the North and the Sultan of Rum in Konya.  War erupts between and among a shifting web of alliances of Turks, Greeks, Crusaders and Armenians.  And Sultan Mesud ultimately emerges as the leading power of Turkish Anatolia.
