Ibrahim Inal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ibrahim Inal (died 1060) was a Seljuk warlord, and a uterine brother of the sultan Tughril.

İbrahim commanded a successful raid against the eastern provinces of the Byzantine Empire which culminated in the Battle of Kapetrou in September 1048. The Arab chronicler Ibn al-Athir reports that he brought back 100,000 captives and a vast booty loaded on the backs of ten thousand camels.^[1] In 1058, he revolted against his brother, but was eventually defeated and personally strangled by Toğrül with his bowstring at Baghdad.^[2]
