Afghan (Turkic) Ghaznavid Dynasty
AD 977 - 1186
Islamicised Turks were brought into eastern Persia by the
Samanid Emirate
in the mid-tenth century, before the
Seljuq invasion of 1021. The
governor of Ghazni, Sebuk-Tigin, revolted and formed a breakaway dynasty.
This was set up in the southern Persian city of Ghazni, south of
Transoxiana (now a region in south-eastern Afghanistan), while the ruling Persians were fading in power.
In the fashion of the Persians, the ruler's title was sultan. Lahore was the
easternmost bastion of Ghazni power, although they frequently raided further
east. |
