Years: 964 - 1107
Several Samanid cities had been lost to another Turkish group, the Seljuks, a ruling clan of the Kinik group of the Oghuz (or Ghuzz) Turks, who live north of the Oxus River (now called the Amu Darya).
Their leader, Tughril Beg, turns his warriors against the Ghaznavids in Khorasan.
He moves south and then west, conquering but not wasting the cities in his path.
