Best Answer

Malik Shah was the third sultan of the Seljuks from 1072 until his death in 1092.

In 1072 he succeeded his father to head an empire that controlled

parts of Arabia, Mesopotamia, and areas near the Persian Gulf. His rule was aided by the powerful vizier, Nizam al-Mulk Nizam al-Mulk, c.1018-92, vizier (1063-92) under two Seljuk sultans.

He drove the Byzantine Empire out of most of Anatolia following their defeat by his father Alp Arslan at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071. Likewise, he reformed the calendar with the Jalali calendar in 1079.

Malik Shah expanded Seljuk power into Syria at the expense of the Fatimids of Egypt, setting up client princes in Edessa, Aleppo and Damascus and is remembered as one of the greatest of the Seljuk sultans.

The sultan governed more by diplomacy than military conquest. Revolts erupted at the end of his reign, including one by his brother.

After his death in 1092 the Seljuk empire disintegrated into smaller states, mostly antagonistic towards each other.

Extra Information

Suleyman revolted against Malik Shah I and proclaimed himself the Sultan of Rûm, establishing his capital at Nicaea. Suleyman expanded his realm but was killed near Antioch in 1086 by Tutush I, the Seljuk ruler of Syria. Suleyman's son, Kilij Arslan I, was captured and taken as a hostage by Malik Shah I to Isfahan. It is uncertain whether Tutush killed Suleyman out of loyalty to Malik Shah I or simply for personal gain.
