Agulani

Post by Andreas Johansson » Wed Oct 06, 2021 1:39 pm

The Great and Rum Seljuk list allows a single stand of Agulani in 1097, corresponding to their appearance at Dorylaeum. The Gesta Francorum also mentions them as present in Kerbogha's army at Antioch in 1098, which I guess would count as the eastern Seljuk list.

Thanks, Andreas. These single-reference line items are difficult. Was that "Great Seljuk" or not -- as you say, Kerbogha was from Mosul (the East) with a combined army from lots of places.

Reviewing some materials and the army list descriptive notes (that will eventually be visible on Meshwesh -- the data is entered, but it's a coding issue and will take some time before the data is visible), I'm thinking that Kerbogha's combined army counts as a Great Seljuk army, as it included elements from Palestine and the Emirates of Damascus and Homs. So not a Seljuk Eastern Sultanate army as such.

But I'll update the Great Seljuk army to extend the time limit for Agulani another year, allowing them to appear at Antioch as well.
