## Bio

Ahmad Sanjar ruled Khorasan from 1097, then took the Seljuq throne in 1118 at thirty-one. His forty-one years as sultan were a grinding test: climactic battles on all fronts from the first day, borders held by constant vigilance and force. The cracks came late — defeats at Qatwan and Muharram as his judgment slipped, then in 1153 the Oghuz Turkmen took him captive. He died in 1157. Within half a century the empire he'd kept intact collapsed.
