- Mahmud I of Great Seljuq
-
Nasir ad-Din Mahmud I was the sultan of Great Seljuq from 1092 to 1094.[1] He succeeded Malik Shah I as Sultan, but he did not gain control of the empire built by Malik Shah, and Alp Arslan.
Following Malik Shah I's death, successor states split from the Great Seljuq.[2] In Anatolia Malik Shah I was succeeded by Kilij Arslan I, and in Syria by Mahmud's uncle Tutush I. The disunity within the Seljuq realms allowed for the unexpected success of the First Crusade shortly afterwards, beginning in 1096.[citation needed] Although a short term, Nasir ad-Din Mahmud I ruled with an iron fist.
