سنجر شاه صاحب الجزيرة العمرية

Al-Malik Sanjar Shah b. Ghazi b. Mawdud b. Atabeg Zangi, lord of Jazirat Ibn Umar; his son Ghazi killed him in 605 — they had sworn to him — then the next day his father's close men fell on Ghazi, killed him, and enthroned his brother al-Malik al-Mu'azzam; Sanjar was foul-mannered and a wrongdoer.
