Biography
In 1076/1077, Ali married a daughter of Chaghri Beg named Khadija Arslan Khatun, who was the widow of the Abbasid Caliph Al-Qa'im (1031–1075). Ali was a faithful vassal of the Seljuqs and spent most of his reign at the court of the Seljuq sultan Malik-Shah I in Isfahan. He was a patron of the Persian poet Mu'izzi who wrote some poems dedicated to him.[1]
After the death of Malik-Shah I in 1092, Ali supported his brother Tutush I who dominated the western part of the Seljuq Empire and considered his claim to the throne superior to Barkiyaruq's. Tutush, however, was decisively defeated in a battle near Ray in 1095, where he and Ali were killed.[1][2] Ali was succeeded by his son Garshasp II.
