Biography

edit

Zubayda was born to Emir Yaquti, son of Chaghri Beg. She married and influenced her cousin Malik-Shah I, giving birth to Berkyaruq in 1081 and a daughter, Gawhar Khatun.[1] After Berkyaruq became the Seljuk Sultan, Zubayda's brother-in-law Tutush I rebelled. After Berkyaruk suppressed the rebellion and killed his uncle, he wanted to bring his mother with him, although his vizier Mu'ayyid al-Mulk opposed this.[2] As a result of this, Mu'ayyid al-Mulk was dismissed and his brother Fakhr al-Mulk was appointed as the vizier.[2] Berkyaruq's brother Muhammad Tapar later rebelled and declared himself as Sultan, reappointing Mu'ayyid al-Mulk, who had Zubayda Khatun captured and killed.[2]

edit

Zubayda Khatun is portrayed by Sezin Akbaşoğulları in the Turkish historical drama The Great Seljuks: Guardians of Justice.[3][4]
