The Ghuzz capture Sultan Sanjar

In 548 AH the Ghuzz rose against the sultan Sanjar, captured him and took over his lands. ¹

Al-Suyuti says that the Ghuzz kept the sermon in his name, so that he retained the name of the sultanate without the sultan's power. He says that he used to weep for himself, and that his stipend was as much as that of a groom among the grooms. ¹

The Gregorian date is derived from the Hijri year. The report rests on a single source and needs an additional source.
