Muhammad I (Seljuq sultan)

Muhammad I (also known as Ghiyath ad-Din Muhammad or Muhammad Tapar, died 1118) was a son of Seljuq Sultan Malik Shah I. In Turkish, Tapar means for "he who obtains, finds".

He succeeded his nephew, Malik Shah II, as Seljuq Sultan in Baghdad, and thus was theoretically the head of the dynasty, although his brother Ahmed Sanjar in Khorasan held more practical power. Mehmed I probably allied himself with Radwan of Aleppo in the battle of Khabur river against Kilij Arslan I, the sultan of Rüm, in 1107, in which the latter was defeated and killed.^[1]

Mehmed I died in 1118 and was succeeded by Mahmud II, although after Mehmed's death Sanjar was clearly the chief power in the Seljuq realms.
