Ibrahim of Ghazna

Ibrahim of Ghazna (1033 - 1099), is sultan of the Ghaznavid empire from April 1059 until his death in 1099.

Having been imprisoned at the fortress of Barghund, he is one of the Ghaznavid princes that escapes the usurper Toghrul's massacre in 1052.

After his brother Farrukh-Zad takes power, Ibrahim is sent to the fortress of Nay, the same fortress where the poet Masud Sa'd Salman will later be imprisoned for ten years.

Following Farrukh's death, Ibrahim is recognized as the last surviving male Ghaznavid.

A military escort is sent to fetch him from Nay and he enters Ghazna on 6 April 1059.

Ibrahim's reign is considered a golden age for the Ghaznavid empire, due to the treaties and cultural exchanges with the Great Seljuq empire.
