ألب أرسلان عضد الدولة بن جغري بك

Second Seljuk sultan, succeeding his uncle Tughrul in 455 with al-Qa'im's investiture; al-Dhahabi: the first called 'sultan' on Baghdad's minbars, he reached what no king had reached, opened many Christian lands, and took Nizam al-Mulk as vizier — who ended his predecessor's cursing of the Ash'aris, championed the Shafi'is, honoured Imam al-Haramayn and al-Qushayri, and built the Nizamiyya, 'said to be the first school built for the jurists'. He died of Yushk the Khwarizmian fortress-keeper's knife at Barbar on the Jihun in 465, entrusting the realm to Malikshah and Nizam al-Mulk; he never saw Baghdad though it lay within his kingdom, and it was he who domed Abu Hanifa's grave.
