History
İbrahim Yınal entered the service of Tugril Beg and he directed his activities especially to the west of the country. Ibrahim Yinal Hamadan came to them and set up headquarters and demanded the surrender of the city. The city's ruler, Garshasp I, formed an alliance with Annazids and Buyids. The people, who did not want the Seljuks, started to resist, but the city fell after the violent attacks of the Seljuks.[2][1][4]
