    The killing of Sultan Alp Arslan and the accession of Malikshah

    Crossing the Oxus toward Bukhara with more than two hundred thousand horse, Alp Arslan had the captured fortress-commander Yusuf al-Khwarizmi brought before him and ordered him staked; Yusuf sneered 'shall the likes of me die such a death?', the sultan seized bow and arrows, shot and missed, stumbled rising from his dais — and Yusuf was on him with a knife in his side. The attendants killed Yusuf; the sultan's wound was bound and he died back at the Oxus on Saturday 10 Rabi' I 465, aged forty years and five months, after nine years and six months of rule. On his dais his son Malikshah spoke his first command — 'the eldest of you is my father, the middle my uncle, the youngest my son, and I shall do for you what has not been done before' — and the army gave bay'a through Nizam al-Mulk and Abu Sa'd the mustawfi.
