[Sca-cooks] Sixteenth Century Turkish

[Elaine Koogler]

Probably the word you're looking for is Seljuk...a Turcoman tribe that set
up their government in Iran in the 11th c. and later defeated the Byzantine
armies and established a peace with Constantinople. The great Seljuk empire
went into decline and minor clans split up areas of Anatolia, including
Constantinople, now known as Istanbul.  In the 14th c. a minor chieftan
drove the Mongols out and established the Ottoman empire.  It was the
Byzantines, however, who had the Norse Varangian guard.

This is rather sketchy...and you can find a better summary at
