Years: 1161 - 1161
Kilij had attacked Manuel in 1159 as he marched past Konya, or Iconium (the capital of the Sultanate of Rüm), as the Emperor returned from negotiating with Nur ad-Din in Syria.
After Manuel's nephew John Kontostephanus defeats Kilij in 1161, the sultan travels to Constantinople in a show of submission.
