Al-Mulk Minister and military commands in the reign of Sanjar
Keywords:
Seljuks, Ministry, Military Emirs, Sanjar, Mukhtar al-MulkAbstract
The ministry wasn’t very efficient in the territory of Sanjar, unlike the Iraqi Seljuks. Some of them were able to show their worthiness and expertise, and one of them is Al-Mulk Kashi. Sanjar's eleven ministers a small number of them were able to show their merits and expertise and one of them belonged to Al-Mulk Kashi. Mukhtar al-Mulk was an Iraqi broker who made every effort to resolve the current crisis at the Sanjar Ministry in Khorasan. Mukhtar al-Mulk, by emphasizing the policy of preserving the unity of the Seljuk Empire stood against the problem of military kings. Although the minister's efforts were thwarted by his assassination by the Ismailis. A fundamental question is what policy did Abu Nasr Kashi pursue to control military commanders? with a descriptive analytical method based on historical sources and with a library method in addition to a brief reference to the events of the time and political background and actions of Moinuddin Seeks to examine the relationship between the minister and the military kings. The finding of the study showed interactive relations with the military to control them by implementing specific policies that ultimately didn’t succeed in the extravagance and empowerment of the military.
