964 CE to 1107 CE

The Buyids are ousted in 1055 by the Turkic-speaking Seljuks.

The caliph in Baghdad gives Tughril Beg robes, gifts, and the title, "King of the East" in 1055.

Because the Seljuks are Sunnis, their rule is welcomed in Baghdad.

They treat the caliphs with respect, but the latter continue to be only figureheads.

There are several lines of Seljuks.

The main line, ruling from Baghdad, will control the area from the Bosporus to Chinese Turkestan until approximately 1155.
