Crusader sources:Seljuk Sultan had German maternal ancestry

We have seen in the other thread how Cruce Signatus, Germanic Frankish builders of Europa identity argued Turkoman Seljuks must be from same lineage as them (considered own lineage chosen by God.

Nowadays I dig and more I dig I find new stuff of Frankish interest to relate with Turks.
Crusaders sources pretend Seljuk Sultan Kilij Arslan II had German maternal ancestry and they refer as proof to a dialogue between Sultan of Rum and a German Duke who was travelling in Turkey during pilgrimage trip to Jerusalem in 1172.

As Arnold of Lübeck reports in his Chronica Slavorum, he was present at the meeting of Henry the Lion with Kilij-Arslan during the former's pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1172. When they met near Tarsus, the sultan embraced and kissed the German duke, reminding him that they were blood cousins ('amplexans et deosculans eum, dicens, eum consanguineum suum esse'). When the duke asked for details of this relationship, Kilij Arslan informed him that 'a noble lady from the land of Germans married a king of Russia who had a daughter by her; this daughter's daughter arrived to our land, and I descend from her.' The Russian king in question is assumed to have been Svyatoslav II.
