As for Tāj al-Dawla, he took possession of Damascus. In the year 487 AH the two confronted one another—Tāj al-Dawla and Āqsunqur. Āqsunqur reviewed twenty thousand cavalry, and when the armies met he advanced in person; the combat grew fierce, but his forces eventually broke while he held his ground. He was captured with a detachment of his horsemen, whereupon Tāj al-Dawla ordered that he and his companions be beheaded. That was in Jumādā I of the same year (1).

He was first buried in the shrine of Qarnabiyyā, after which his son, the atabeg Zangī, transferred his remains to the Zajjājiyya madrasa in Aleppo and built a dome over the grave. When his father was killed, Zangī was still a child; the years passed, and he later became a king.
