Years: 1063 - 1063
Tughril heads an empire that includes western Iran and Mesopotamia, while his brother Chaghri had gained control over the greater part of Khorasan.
Dying childless in 1063 in the city of Rey, he is succeeded by his nephew Suleiman, but this succession is contested by Alp Arslan, both of them sons of his late brother Chaghri.
His cousin Qutalmish, who had both been a vital part of his campaigns and later a supporter of Yinal's rebellion, also puts forth a claim.
