Fan Casting Kilij Arslan II in Robin Hood and the House of Plantagenet (TV-Series)

The aging Seljuk Sultan of Rûm, whose crumbling authority over the Anatolian interior poses a lethal threat to the Crusade’s overland supply lines. Having spent his life fighting both Byzantines and fellow Muslims, he is a cynical survivor who views the arriving Europeans as a chaotic pestilence. Though he formally offers safe passage to the German crusaders, his inability—or refusal—to control his nomadic tribes leads to the near-annihilation of their forces. He is a king presiding over a fracturing realm, playing a dangerous game of neutrality to preserve his dynasty's remnants.
