Overview
The son of Malik Shah. The source says that he rose against his brother Mahmud, who was five years old, when his mother Turkan Khatun made the amirs swear allegiance to him. The caliph al-Muqtadi appointed him and titled him "Rukn al-Din" in Muharram 487 AH. 2
Sultan Arslan Arghun, lord of Khurasan, was killed in 490 AH, and Barkyaruq took it, and his brother Muhammad ibn Malik Shah rose against him. 2
He died in 498 AH, and the amirs set up after him his son Jalal al-Dawla Malik Shah, who was less than five years old. His uncle Muhammad went out, and the word came together on him. 3
