تزويج بنت الخليفة لطغرل بك

تزويج بنت الخليفة لطغرل بك

c. 1062 CE · 454 AH

In 454 al-Qa'im gave his daughter to Tughrul Beg after resisting every way, shaken and begging release — an honour no Buyid king ever won for all their coercion. Tughrul came in 455, entered with the caliph's daughter, restored the inheritances and the makus, farmed Baghdad for a hundred and fifty thousand dinars, and died at Rayy in Ramadan 1.

Overview

In 454 AH the caliph al-Qa'im married his daughter to Tughril Beg, according to al-Suyuti. 2

The account

al-Suyuti says that al-Qa'im resisted the matter with every means, was disturbed and asked to be excused, and then relented. He says that none of the Buyid kings had obtained the like, despite their control over the caliphs. 2

Tughril Beg came the following year, consummated the marriage with the caliph's daughter, restored the inheritances and the tolls, and guaranteed Baghdad for a hundred and fifty thousand dinars. Then he returned to al-Rayy and died there in Ramadan. 2

وقعة البساسيري والخطبة للمستنصر العبيدي ببغداد

Arslan al-Basasiri grew so mighty he was preached on the minbars and the caliph decided nothing without him; when his ill creed proved out and his plan to sack the palace surfaced, al-Qa'im wrote secretly to Tughrul Beg at Rayy. Tughrul came in 447; al-Basasiri fell back to Rahba, took the Egyptian al-Mustansir's money and the treacherous brother Inal's distraction. In 450 he entered Baghdad under Egyptian banners — the khutba went to al-Mustansir at the Mansur mosque, 'hayya ala khayr al-amal' entered the adhan — and seized the caliph in Dhu'l-Hijja, jailing him at Ana; the caliph's letter to God was hung on the Ka'ba. Tughrul killed Inal, had the caliph returned in honour on 25 Dhu'l-Qa'da 451, and al-Basasiri's head reached Baghdad.
