塞爾柱王朝

塞爾柱王朝（波斯語： آل سلجوق，Al-e Saljuq）是中世纪时期由乌古斯突厥人建立起的遜尼派穆斯林王朝"Turkish dynasty also spelled Seljuk ruling military family of the Oğuz (Ghuzz) Turkic tribes that invaded southwestern Asia in the 11th century and eventually founded an empire....".Encyclopedia Brittanica "The Turkish groups of the greatest import in the history of Europe and W Asia were, however, the Seljuks and the Osmanli or Ottoman Turks, both members of the Oghuz confederations.".Encyclopedia Columbia Saljuqs, Andrew Peacock, Encyclopaedia Iranica, (May 25, 2010)."A dynasty of Turkish origin that ruled much of Anatolia".Encyclopedia Iranica ，后期王朝成員逐渐波斯化，为中世紀时期西亚及中亞地區突厥-波斯文化的發展打下了基础Grousset, Rene, The Empire of the Steppes, (Rutgers University Press, 1991), 161,164; "..renewed the Seljuk attempt to found a great Turko-Persian empire in eastern Iran..", "It is to be noted that the Seljuks, those Turkomans who became sultans of Persia, did not Turkify Persia-no doubt because they did not wish to do so. On the contrary, it was they who voluntarily became Persians and who, in the manner of the great old Sassanid kings, strove to protect the Iranian populations from the plundering of Ghuzz bands and save Iranian culture from the Turkoman menace."Nishapuri, Zahir al-Din Nishapuri (2001), "The History of the Seljuq Turks from the Jami’ al-Tawarikh: An Ilkhanid Adaptation of the Saljuq-nama of Zahir al-Din Nishapuri," Partial tr. K.A. Luther, ed. C.E. Bosworth, Richmond, UK.  K.A. Luther: "... the Turks were illiteratre and uncultivated when they arrived in Khurasan and had to depend on Iranian scribes, poets, jurists and theologians to man the institution of the Empire"(pg 9)。塞爾柱王朝曾建立大塞爾柱帝國以及罗姆蘇丹國，統治區域東起波斯、西達安納托利亞高原，王朝的擴張使安納托利亞、高加索等地突厥化，也间接地引发了第一次十字軍東征。

歷史
塞爾柱人源自於突厥烏古斯人分支Concise Britannica Online Seljuq Dynasty  articleMerriam-Webster Online – Definition of Seljuk The History of the Seljuq Turks: From the Jami Al-Tawarikh (LINK)History of the Ottoman Empire and Modern Turkey – Stanford Shaw (LINK)，他們在9世紀生活於穆斯林世界邊緣，包含中亞的裏海北部和鹹海、哈薩克草原、突厥斯坦阿姆河畔等地。他們騎術精湛，周邊勢力常來此招募傭兵。波斯散文家賈希茲形容他們：

10世紀中期，由於加兹尼王国僱傭他們擔任河中地區的警備，烏古斯人開始與周邊穆斯林城市密切往來。

10世紀末，塞爾柱人的領袖塞爾柱·貝格與烏古斯人頭目葉護反目後，他率領部族移居於下錫爾河西岸（Jaxartes）。西元985年左右，塞爾柱人皈依了伊斯蘭教Michael Adas, Agricultural and Pastoral Societies in Ancient and Classical History, (Temple University Press, 2001), 99.。

1025年，图格鲁勒·貝格，恰格勒·貝格兄弟和叔叔穆薩·優素福(Musa Yabghu)等人率領塞爾柱部族南遷進入波斯呼羅珊省，協助喀喇汗國的王族阿里特勤對抗加兹尼王族的攻擊，1029年，貝格兄弟與阿里特勤發生爭執，同盟關係緊張，不過加兹尼此時也陷入內戰，是故戰端稍歇。

1030年，穆哈馬德的雙胞胎兄長結束內戰成為新蘇丹，他繼承了弟弟及父親马哈茂德攻略河中地區的方針向北方施壓。1032年，爆發，貝格兄弟再次出兵協助阿里特勤，在喀喇汗軍與加兹尼軍互有損失的狀況下，兩軍協議各自退兵回國。

1035年，沙赫·馬立克在花剌子模擊敗貝格兄弟，南逃的兄弟向舊敵馬蘇德一世求援，馬蘇德一世斷然拒絕並派遣前去消滅對方，結果加兹尼軍大敗指揮官被俘，馬蘇德一世不得不割讓拿沙（Nasa）、法拉瓦（Farava）、大益等地給塞爾柱人。

1037年，图格鲁勒自封為蘇丹，並於隔年攻下加兹尼首都尼沙普爾。C.E. Bosworth, The Ghaznavids: 994-1040, (Edinburgh University Press, 1963), 242.

1040年，衝突再次發生，塞爾柱人在丹丹納干戰役重創加兹尼軍隊Tony Jaques, Dictionary of Battles and Sieges: F-O, (Greenwood Publishing Group, 2007), 476.，稍後，大塞爾柱帝國建立。帝國各地的原住民在接下來的幾十年中受到波斯文化影響，在宗教、語言以及風俗上被強制同化O.Özgündenli, "Persian Manuscripts in Ottoman and Modern Turkish Libraries", Encyclopaedia Iranica, Online Edition, (LINK )Encyclopædia Britannica, "Seljuq", Online Edition, (LINK ): "... Because the Turkish Seljuqs had no Islamic tradition or strong literary heritage of their own, they adopted the cultural language of their Persian instructors in Islam. Literary Persian thus spread to the whole of Iran, and the Arabic language disappeared in that country except in works of religious scholarship ..."M. Ravandi, "The Seljuq court at Konya and the Persianisation of Anatolian Cities", in Mesogeios (Mediterranean Studies), vol. 25–6 (2005), pp. 157–69M.A. Amir-Moezzi, "Shahrbanu", Encyclopaedia Iranica, Online Edition, (LINK ): "... here one might bear in mind that Turco-Persian dynasties such as the Ghaznavids, Saljuqs and Ilkhanids were rapidly to adopt the Persian language and have their origins traced back to the ancient kings of Persia rather than to Turkish heroes or Muslim saints ..."F. Daftary, Sectarian and National Movements in Iran, Khorasan, and Trasoxania during Umayyad and Early Abbasid Times, in History of Civilizations of Central Asia, Vol 4, pt. 1; edited by M.S. Asimov and C.E. Bosworth; UNESCO Publishing, Institute of Ismaili Studies: "... Not only did the inhabitants of Khurasan not succumb to the language of the nomadic invaders, but they imposed their own tongue on them. The region could even assimilate the Turkic Ghaznavids and Seljuks (eleventh and twelfth centuries), the Timurids (fourteenth–fifteenth centuries), and the Qajars (nineteenth–twentieth centuries) ..."。
