Invasion of Silifke or Siege of Silifke It is the siege movement that took place after the capture of Isauria by Kayqubad the Great and Cavli.
The Armenian Baron Constantine had sold a number of fortresses in the Mediterranean to the Knights Hospitaller and the Knights Templar. However, Constantine, who saw that this movement could can't block the Seljuks, demanded that the Pope make a Crusade. However, this request was rejected and the Seljuks captured Silifke.[3]
