Toghtekin, acting as regent and de facto…
1104 CE
Toghtekin, acting as regent and de facto ruler after Duqaq dies in 1104, has the former's junior son Tutush II proclaimed emir, while he marries Duqaq's widow and reserves for himself the title of atabeg.
After deposing Tutush II, he has another son of Duqaq, Baqtash, named emir, but soon afterward he has him exiled.
Baqtash, with the support of Aitekin, the sahib of Bosra, tries to reconquer Damascus, but is pushed back by Toghtekin and forced to find help at the court of King Baldwin I of Jerusalem.
