The battle of Dinawar between Sanjar and his nephews in 526

In 526 the battle near Dinawar pitted Sultan Sanjar against his nephews Saljuq-shah and Mas'ud; Ibn al-Jawzi puts Sanjar's host at 170,000 against Mas'ud's 30,000, with 40,000 slain 'a jahiliyya killing over kingship, not religion'; Mas'ud fled into Sanjar's presence and was pardoned and restored, while the Baghdad sultanate was settled on Tughril Beg and Sanjar returned to Khurasan.
