إجراءات المسترشد بالله لإضعاف حكم السلاجقة و أثرها على الخلافة العباسية (512-529 ه 1118-1134 م)‎

Abstract EN

The policy of the caliph “Almustarshad Biallah” differed from his predecessors in dealing with the sultans and the Seljuk princes.

When he became the ruler, he was determined to restore the prestige and independence of the Caliphate and strengthen its influence by relying on the masses of people who had gathered around him and supported him in his ordeal with the Seljuks.

He not only prevented any interference of the sultans in matters of the caliphate but also he intervened in the affairs of the Seljuk Sultanate claiming he is after reform.

He also engaged in battles with the armies of the sultans inside and outside Iraq, but the policy of treachery and deception adopted by the Seljuq princes failed his emancipation project from the domination of the Seljuks.
