Berkyaruq

1081–1105 · 11th century

Berkyaruq was sultan of the Great Seljuk Empire from 1094 to 1105, the eldest son of Malik Shah. His reign was taken up by wars with his uncle Tutush and his brothers, above all Muhammad Tapar, which divided the empire. These conflicts left the Seljuks unable to respond effectively to the First Crusade.
