Kilij Arslan V was the son of Kayqubad III, sultan of the Sultanate of Rum (Anatolian Seljuks). While some historians believe that Kilij Arslan V ruled the state between 1310 and 1318, most medieval scholars argue that no such sultan ever existed and that Kilij Arslan V was merely an impostor claimant to the throne.
