Overview
Al-Salabi says that Tughril Beg ended the influence of the Buyids in Baghdad in 447 AH. When he entered the seat of the caliphate, the caliph al-Qa'im bi-Amr Allah received him with great honour. 2
His titles
The caliph robed him, seated him beside himself, and gave him the title Sultan Rukn al-Din; he ordered his name struck on the coinage and mentioned in the khutba of the mosques of Baghdad and elsewhere. From then on the Seljuqs replaced the Buyids in authority in Baghdad. 2
Intermarriage
The caliph married a daughter of Jaghri Beg, brother of Tughril Beg, in 448 AH, and Tughril Beg married a daughter of the caliph in Sha'ban 454 AH. He died in Ramadan 455 AH at the age of seventy. 2
