Overview
In 590 AH the sultan Tughril Shah ibn Arslan died, and al-Suyuti names him the last of the Seljuk kings. 1
Number of kings and length of the state
Al-Suyuti quotes al-Dhahabi that their number was just over twenty kings. The first was Tughrulbeg, who restored al-Qa'im to Baghdad. He estimates the length of their state at a hundred and sixty years. 1
The Gregorian date is derived from the Hijri year, and the report comes from a single source and needs an additional source.
