IRAK SELÇUKLU DEVLETİ’NİN SON HÜKÜMDARI II. TUĞRUL’UN HAZİN SONU
IRAQ SELJUK STATE’S THE LAST RULER II. TUĞRUL’S SAD END

Summary/Abstract: We see that the Atabeys of Ildeniz governed this state from outside, since the young sultans were the head of the Iraqi Seljuk State. Thereupon, Ildeniz Atabey entered into a tough struggle with the Kızıl Arslan and Tuğrul, and as a result, he imprisoned Tuğrul in the case of Kehran. Kızıl Arslan’s stay on the throne did not last long, and he was assasinated by İnanc Hatun, who wished for his own son to take the throne. Thus, Kutlug İnanc Mahmud, the son of İnanc Hatun dominated the Iraqi throne. Tuğrul, who was estimeted to have stayed in Tehran Castle for about 1.5 years during this period, got rid of the castle with the help of the people on his side and declared a war against Kutlug İnanc to take the throne again. Kutlug İnanc asked for help from Alaeddin Tekis, the ruler of Harezmshah. Alaeddin Tekis, who wanted to add this geography to the borders of the Harezmshah state, responded positively to this message. Harezm Shah caught him as a result of the clashes with Tugrul and cut his head and sent him to the caliph Nâsır Li-dinillâh, who supported him in order to destroy the Iraqi Seljuk state in line with his interests. Thus, in the words of historian Bundari, “The Seljuk state, which started with Tuğrul, ended with Tuğrul.”
