This chapter sets out to spatialise Turkish rule. It demonstrates the interest attaching to a spatial analysis of Saljuq kingship. The Saljuqs were the first Turkish dynasty of nomadic origins to rule Iran. The results provided in the chapter allow a better understanding of the relationship between the king and his subjects. The ethnic distinction (Iranian elites/Turkish rulers) overlaps a very deep spatial divide. Once it is clear that they did not share the same space, it becomes easier to understand the role that the subjects played in their country’s history under the so-called “Turkish domination”. Saljuq kingship was low-key and unobtrusive, and what the Iranian elite lost in pomp, they gained in autonomy. The results allow re-evaluation of traditional divisions, and in particular the great divide in Iranian history represented by the Mongol invasion. Keywords:Iran; Mongol invasion; Saljuq kingship; Turkish kingship
