[edit] Names

The laqab, or honorific, Izzeddin or 'Izz al-Din, is helpful to know, but not strictly important for identifying this ruler. Such laqabs are used throughout the period, and the title 'Izz al-Din, “Glory of Religion,” is assigned to several notable figures in the Seljuq line as well as many contemporaries outside the dynasty.

English language academic literature and numismatic catalogues are satisfied to identify the sultan as either “Kaykaus” or “Kayka’us”. The former seems more elegant. Those with the requisite linguistic skills will not need to consult Wikipedia. Aramgar 16:59, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
