Tutup
Empayar Seljuq telah diasaskan oleh Tugrul Beg pada tahun 1037 selepas usaha-usaha pengasas wangsa Seljuk, Seljuq Beg, kembali pada suku pertama kurun ke-11. Bapa Seljuq Beg memegang kedudukan tinggi di Negara Oghuz Yabgu, dan memberi nama beliau kepada negara dan dinasti. Seljuq telah menyatukan keadaan rapuh politik di dunia timur Islam dan memainkan peranan penting di dalam Perang Salib Pertama dan Kedua. Memiliki nilai Parsi tinggi[3][4][5][6] dalam kebudayaan [10][11][12] dan bahasa[3][13][14][15][16], Seljuq juga memainkan peranan penting dalam pembangunan tradisi Parsi-Turki[17].
Moyang apikal bagi orang Seljuq adalah beg, iaitu Seljuk yang memiliki reputasi yang berkhidmat dalam tentera Khazar, di mana sekitar tahun 950 telah bermigrasi ke Khwarezm, berdekatan dengan bandar Jend, di mana mereka kemudian memeluk Islam.[18]
Seljuq kemudian bersekutu dengan para shah Samanid Parsi menentang Qarakhanid. Samanid kalah pada Qarakhanid di Transoxania (992–999), bagaimanapun selepas kebangkitan Ghaznavid. Seljuq terjebak dalam pergelutan kuasa di wilayah ini sebelum mengasaskan pangkalan bebas mereka sendiri.
Tughril and Chaghri
Rencana utama: Tughril
Tughril merupakan cucu lelaki kepada Seljuq dan abang kepada Chaghri, di mana semasa kepimpinan beliau Seljuk berjaya menubuhkan sebuah empayar daripada Ghaznavid. Awalnya, Seljuq berjaya diundurkan oleh Mahmud dan berundur ke Khwarezm, tetapi Tughril dan Chaghri kemudian mengetuai mereka untuk menawan Merv dan Nishapur (1037).[19] Kemudian, mereka berulang kali menyerang dan bertukar wilayah di Khorasan dan Balkh dan menjarah Ghazni pada tahun 1037.[20] Pada tahun 1040, dalam Pertempuran Dandanaqan, mereka mendapat kemenangan mutlak ke atas Mas'ud I dari Ghaznavid, memaksa beliau untuk meninggalkan hampir kesemua wilayah barat beliau kepada Seljuq. Pada tahun 1048-9, Turki Seljuk di bawah pimpinan Ibrahim Yinal, saudara kandung kepada sultan Tughril, membuat serbuan pertama ke perbatasan hadapan Byzantine di wilayah Iberia dan bertempur dengan tentera gabungan Byzantine-Georgia seramai 50,000 orang di Pertempuran Kapetrou pada 10 September 1048. Kemusnahan yang ditinggalkan oleh serbuan Seljuq sungguh menakutkan sepertimana diceritakan dalam magnat Byzantine, Eustathios Boilas, pada tahun 1051/52, tanah-tanah ini seperti "gersang dan tidak diuruskan... didiami oleh ular, kala jengking, dan binatang liar." Perawi Arab, Ibn al-Athir melaporkan bahawa Ibrahim membawa balik 100,000 orang tawanan dan banyak harta rampasan yang dimuatkan di belakang 10 ribu unta.[21] Pada tahun 1055, Tughril menawan Baghdad daripada pemerintahan Buyid Syiah atas perintah Abbasiyah.
Alp Arslan
Alp Arslan, anak lelaki kepada Chaghri Beg, meluaskan lagi wilayah selepas kematian Tughril dengan menambah Armenia dan Georgia pada tahun 1064 dan menyerang empayar Byzantine pada tahun 1068, di mana beliau berjaya mengilhak hampir keseluruhan Anatolia.[22] Kemenangan muktamad Arslan dalam Pertempuran Manzikert pada tahun 1071. Oleh itu, menghapuskan sebarang tentangan dari Byzantine akan serangan Turki di Anatolia.[23] Walaupun Georgia berjaya pulih daripada serbuan Alp Arslan dengan menguasai Iberia. Pengunduran Byzantine daripada Anatolia membuatkan Georgia bertembung terus dengan Seljuq. Pada tahun 1073, para amir Seljuk di Ganja, Dvin dan Dmanisi, menyerang Georgia dan dikalahkan oleh George II dari Georgia, yang mana berjaya menawan kubu di Kars.[24] Satu serangan balas oleh Amir Seljuk, Ahmad telah berjaya mengalahkan Georgia di Kvelistsikhe.[25]
Alp Arslan membenarkan para jeneral Turkmen beliau untuk menubuhkan wilayah mereka sendiri di bekas wilayah Byzantine, selagi mana para atabeg ini setia kepada beliau. Dalam masa dua tahun, Turkmen telah berjaya menguasai sejauh Laut Aegea di bawah pelbagai beghlik (Turki moden beylik): Saltukid di timur laut Anatolia, Shah-Armens dan Mengujekid di Anatolia Timur, Artuqid di Anatolia Tenggara, Danishmendi di Anatolia Tengah, Rum Seljuq (Beghlik Suleyman, yang mana kemudian berpindah ke Anatolia Tengah) di Anatolia Barat, dan Beylik Tzachas dari Smyrna di İzmir (Smyrna).
Malik Shah I
Rencana utama: Malik Shah I
Di bawah pemerintahan penganti Alp Arslan, Malik Shah serta dua orang wazir Parsi beliau,[26] Nizām al-Mulk dan Tāj al-Mulk, wilayah Seljuq meluas ke pelbagai arah, sehingga ke garis sempadan Iran sebelum penaklukan oleh Arab, sebelum mencapai ke sempadan China di timur dan Byzantine di barat. Malikshāh memindahkan ibu negera daripada Rey ke Isfahan dan semasa pemerintahan beliau Empayar Seljuk Agung mencapai kemuncaknya.[27] Sistem ketenteraan Iqta dan Universiti Nizāmīyyah di Baghdad telah ditubuhkan oleh Nizām al-Mulk, dan pemerintahan Malikshāh diakui sebagai zaman emas "Seljuq Agung". Khalifah Abbasiyyah menganugerahkan beliau "Sultan di Timur dan Barat" pada tahun 1087. Assassin (Hashshashin) dari Hassan-i Sabāh mula menjadi sebuah pasukan bersenjata semasa era beliau, however, and they assassinated many leading figures in his administration; according to many sources these victims included Nizām al-Mulk.
In 1076 Malik Shah I surged into Georgia and reduced many settlements to ruins. from 1079/80 onward, Georgia was pressured into submitting to Malik-Shah to ensure a precious degree of peace at the price of an annual tribute.

Grousset, Rene, The Empire of the Steppes, (Rutgers University Press, 1991), 161,164; "..renewed the Seljuk attempt to found a great Turko-Persian empire in eastern Iran..", "It is to be noted that the Seljuks, those Turkomans who became sultans of Persia, did not Turkify Persia-no doubt because they did not wish to do so. On the contrary, it was they who voluntarily became Persians and who, in the manner of the great old Sassanid kings, strove to protect the Iranian populations from the plundering of Ghuzz bands and save Iranian culture from the Turkoman menace."

C.E. Bosworth, "Turkish Expansion towards the west" in UNESCO HISTORY OF HUMANITY, Volume IV, titled "From the Seventh to the Sixteenth Century", UNESCO Publishing / Routledge, p. 391: "While the Arabic language retained its primacy in such spheres as law, theology and science, the culture of the Seljuk court and secular literature within the sultanate became largely Persianized; this is seen in the early adoption of Persian epic names by the Seljuk rulers (Qubād, Kay Khusraw and so on) and in the use of Persian as a literary language (Turkish must have been essentially a vehicle for everyday speech at this time). The process of Persianization accelerated in the thirteenth century with the presence in Konya of two of the most distinguished refugees fleeing before the Mongols, Bahā' al-Dīn Walad and his son Mawlānā Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī, whose Mathnawī, composed in Konya, constitutes one of the crowning glories of classical Persian literature."
Mehmed Fuad Koprulu's, "Early Mystics in Turkish Literature", Translated by Gary Leiser and Robert Dankoff , Routledge, 2006, pg 149: "If we wish to sketch, in broad outline, the civilization created by the Seljuks of Anatolia, we must recognize that the local, i.e. non-Muslim, element was fairly insignificant compared to the Turkish and Arab-Persian elements, and that the Persian element was paramount. The Seljuk rulers, to be sure, who were in contact with not only Muslim Persian civilization, but also with the Arab civilizations in al-jazlra and Syria - indeed, with all Muslim peoples as far as India — also had connections with {various} Byzantine courts. Some of these rulers, like the great 'Ala' al-Dln Kai-Qubad I himself, who married Byzantine princesses and thus strengthened relations with their neighbors to the west, lived for many years in Byzantium and became very familiar with the customs and ceremonial at the Byzantine court. Still, this close contact with the ancient Greco-Roman and Christian traditions only resulted in their adoption of a policy of tolerance toward art, aesthetic life, painting, music, independent thought - in short, toward those things that were frowned upon by the narrow and piously ascetic views {of their subjects}. The contact of the common people with the Greeks and Armenians had basically the same result. {Before coming to Anatolia,} the Turks had been in contact with many nations and had long shown their ability to synthesize the artistic elements that thev had adopted from these nations. When they settled in Anatolia, they encountered peoples with whom they had not yet been in contact and immediately established relations with them as well. Ala al-Din Kai-Qubad I established ties with the Genoese and, especially, the Venetians at the ports of Sinop and Antalya, which belonged to him, and granted them commercial and legal concessions. Meanwhile, the Mongol invasion, which caused a great number of scholars and artisans to flee from Turkistan, Iran, and Khwarazm and settle within the Empire of the Seljuks of Anatolia, resulted in a reinforcing of Persian influence on the Anatolian Turks. Indeed, despite all claims to the contrary, there is no question that Persian influence was paramount among the Seljuks of Anatolia. This is clearly revealed by the fact that the sultans who ascended the throne after Ghiyath al-Din Kai-Khusraw I assumed titles taken from ancient Persian mythology, like Kai-Khusraw, Kai-Ka us, and Kai-Qubad; and that. Ala' al-Din Kai-Qubad I had some passages from the Shahname inscribed on the walls of Konya and Sivas. When we take into consideration domestic life in the Konya courts and the sincerity of the favor and attachment of the rulers to Persian poets and Persian literature, then this fact {i.e. the importance of Persian influence} is undeniable. With- regard to the private lives of the rulers, their amusements, and palace ceremonial, the most definite influence was also that of Iran, mixed with the early Turkish traditions, and not that of Byzantium."
