221 – The lord of Nusaybin, Ibrāhīm ibn Riḍwān ibn Tutush the Seljuk *
Shams al-Mulūk, Abū Naṣr Ibrāhīm, son of Riḍwān—the ruler of Aleppo and son of the Sultan Tāj al-Dawla Tutush ibn Alp Arslān the Seljuk.
Born: 503 AH, and his father died while he was still a child.
In 518 AH the lord of al-Ḥilla, Dubays, together with Baldwin the Frank, accompanied him and laid siege to Aleppo; various events followed. In 521 AH he took possession of Aleppo, and its people rejoiced at his rule. Shortly thereafter the lord of Antioch advanced and encamped before the city; envoys shuttled back and forth seeking peace and a truce, and a treaty was concluded that imposed humiliation on the people of Aleppo along with the payment of a load of gold each year.
After a time the atabeg Zangī wrested Aleppo from Shams al-Mulūk and assigned him Nusaybin. He remained there until he died in Shaʿbān, 552 AH.
