Шаблон:Short description Tāj al-Dawla Alp Arslān ibn Riḍwān,Шаблон:Sfn nicknamed al-Akhras ("the Mute"),Шаблон:Sfn was the Seljuk sultan of Aleppo from AD 1113 (AH 507) until his death in 1114 (508). According to Ibn al-Athīr, he was not actually mute but had only a speech impediment and a stammer. He was the son of the Sultan Riḍwān by a daughter of Yağısıyan, governor of Antioch.Шаблон:Sfn

Alp Arslān was only sixteen years old when he succeeded his father as sultan of Aleppo on 10 December 1113.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn As a result, according to Ibn al-Athīr, he "had only the semblance of authority as sultan, while" his atabeg Luʾluʾ al-Yaya "had the reality".Шаблон:Sfn After coming to power, he ordered the death of his full brother Malikshāh and his paternal half-brother Mubārakshah in imitation of his father, who had also ordered the death of his brothers upon coming to power.Шаблон:Sfn Historian Amin Maalouf wrote that Alp Arslan, in addition to his brothers, executed "several officers, a few servants, and in general anyone to whom he took a dislike".Шаблон:Sfn

While Luʾluʾ had control over the army, the aḥdāth (local militia) remained loyal to Alp Arslān and under his control.Шаблон:Sfn At the suggestion of Sāʿid ibn Badīʿ, raʾīs (leader) of the aḥdāth, Alp Arslān persecuted the Nizārī Bāṭiniyya, executing their leader, Abū Ṭāhir al-Sāʾigh, and confiscating the properties of the rest. In this way he drove many Nizārīs over to the Christian Principality of Antioch.Шаблон:Sfn He later turned on Ibn Badīʿ, confiscating his property and exiling him to the ʿUqaylid emirate of Qalʿat Jaʿbar. He replaced him as raʾīs of the aḥdāth by a foreigner, Ibrāhīm al-Furātī.Шаблон:Sfn

Because of his military weakness, Alp Arslān was forced to pay tribute to Antioch.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In March 1114, Alp Arslān turned to Ṭughtegin of Damascus for protection against Antioch, against the Nizārīs and against his atabeg, Luʾluʾ.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Ṭughtegin sent forces to Aleppo, but they found the official toleration of the Shia unacceptable and left before the end of the year. Roger of Salerno, regent of Antioch, forced the resumption of tribute.Шаблон:Sfn With Ṭughtegin's forces gone, the atabeg, in league with Shams al-Khawāṣṣ Yārūqtāsh, the lord of Rafanīya, whom Ṭughtegin had deposed,Шаблон:Sfn had the mamlūks murder Alp Arslān in the citadel.Шаблон:Sfn Luʾluʾ then placed Alp Arslān's six-year-old brother, Sulṭān Shāh, on the throne.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn When Luʾluʾ died in 1117, princess Āmina Khātūn took de facto control of the city.Шаблон:Sfn
