Ghiyath al-Dunya wa'l-Din Abu'l-Fath Mas'ud bin Muhammad (c. 1107 – 10 October 1152) was the

Persia
in 1133–1152.

Reign

Ghiyath ad-Din Masud was the son of sultan

Zengi, besieged by al-Mustarshid's troops in Mosul
.

In 1135 caliph al-Mustarshid contested his authority but, on 14 June of that year, he was defeated and made prisoner at Daimarg, between

Malik Shah
on the throne in his place.

During his troublesome reign, Masud was forced to accept to delegate his authority to numerous emirs with the

Zengi. This caused, according to historian ibn al-Athir
, the beginning of the steep decline of the Seljuq Empire.

Death

Mas'ud died at Hamadan in 1152. He was briefly succeeded by Malik-Shah III, who had been forgiven by Masud, and also given one the sultan's daughters as spouse.

Family

One of Mas'ud's wives was Gawhar Khatun, the daughter of Sultan Ahmad Sanjar. They married in 1134, after his accession to the throne.[5] Gawhar Khatun,[6] the daughter of this union was married by Mas'ud to his nephew Sultan Dawud, son of Sultan Mahmud II. They failed to get on together, and Mas'ud gave her to Dawud's brother, Sultan Muhammad II.[7] Another wife was Zubayda Khatun, the daughter of Sultan Berkyaruq. Described as lovely and praised for her beauty,[8] she dominated Mas'ud.[7] She died in 1138.[9][10] In October 1136, he gave one of his daughters in marriage to Sadaqa ibn Dubays ibn Sadaqa[10] of the Banu Mazyad,[9] and in January–February 1138,[11] he himself married Dubays bin Sadaqa's daughter Sufra Khatun,[9][10] whose mother Sharaf Khatun, was the daughter of Amid al-Dawla ibn Jahir and his wife, Zubaida Khatun (died 1077), the daughter of Nizam al-Mulk.[12][13] Around the same time, he also married Amid al-Dawla ibn Jahir's daughter Ummuha Khatun.[11] In May–June 1138,[11] he married Mustazhiriyya Khatun,[14] the daughter of his uncle Qavurt.[7][10][15] With her, he had a son, born in 1139.[16] Another wife was Arab Khatun. She was the mother of Mas'ud's son, Malik-Shah.[17] In March–April 1137,[18] he married his sister Fatima Khatun to Abbasid Caliph Al-Muqtafi,[19] and in 1140,[16][18] he himself married the caliph's daughter Zubaydah.[20][21][15] Her dowry was one hundred thousand dinars.[22] The wedding procession was delayed for five years because of her young age.[18] However, the marriage was never consummated because of Mas'ud's ultimate death.[22] Another wife was Abkhaziyya Khatun. She was a daughter of King Demetrius I of Georgia. They married in 1143.[23][24] Another daughter of Mas'ud married his nephew and successor Sultan Malik-Shah III.[25]
