Sultan Sanjar's rule over the Great Seljuq…
Sultan Sanjar's rule over the Great Seljuq Empire, marked by conflict with the Kara-Khitai and Khwarazmians, ends in 1153 when the Turkish Ghuzz nomads from beyond the Amu Darya capture Sanjar in 1153 and pillage the city.
Subsequently Merv will change hands between the Khwarazmians of Khiva, the Ghuzz, and the Ghurids, and begin to lose importance relative to Khurasan's other major city, Nishapur.
