Seljuk_Empire_locator_map.svg

?
The factual accuracy of this map or the file name is disputed.
Reason: False in Anatolia according to Shepherd's map File:Europe mediterranean 1097.jpg , which represents Anatolia as entirely Seljuk except two very reduced areas around Sinop & Trebizond, but a very enlarged area around armenian Cilicia.

Summary

Description
English: A map showing the Great Seljuk Empire at its height, upon the death of Malik Shah I in 1092.
  • "In 1089, Malik Shah returned to the charge, occupied Bukhara, captured Sarakand, and imprisoned the Karakhanid Ahmed . . . whom he later reinstated as client-ruler. From that time forward, the Karakhanids who reigned in Bukhara and Samarkand did so as lieutenants of the Seljuk sultans. Transoxiana was now no more than a dependency of the Seljuk Empire."
    (Grousset p. 147.)
  • Other areas such as the Danishmends are not shown separately.
  • The locations of the Battle of Manzikert (1071) and the Battle of Dandanaqan (1040) are also shown.

In general, the map was based on Shepherd and on Hall & Haywood, with modifications based on Grousset and Hourani (Hourani's map excludes the area retaken by Byzantium and the Crusaders in 1097-1100). Other maps show the Empire extending into present day Pakistan &/or that include Mecca, but I have found little evidence to support this.
