Semseddin Ildeòiz was originally a Gypjak. He was great man of science. Thanks to his successful years as an Atabeg and his ability to educate Soltans from among his sons, he was held in high esteem by all.

Ildeòiz was an Atabeg who gave great importance to teaching his students political knowledge in state administration. In time, he added Azerbaijan to his control and he enhanced his position in the region. Since his son Muhammed was not satisfied with the current borders, he conquered the Iraqi Seljuk lands.

After Muhammet, his brother Kizil Arslan, “the emir of emirs,” became the new ruler. However he was killed because he declared the independence of his lands. His two relatives who then declared themselves rulers after his death were also killed for their arrogance.
