Answer:

Seljuks

Step-by-step explanation:

The Seljuks were a Turkish dynasty that ruled the Middle East between the 11th century and the 13th century. They came to Asia Minor from Central Asia at the end of the 10th century, took control of the Abbasid Caliphate, and significantly weakened the Byzantine Empire. Until their arrival, the Middle East was ruled by different Caliphates, which were created and led mainly by Arab dynasties. The Seljuks are considered the direct ancestors of the Ottoman Empire, which was founded by another Turkish dynasty that put an end to the Byzantine Empire in 1453.
