Zubayda Khatun (10561099) was a granddaughter of Dawud Chaghri Beg, wife and cousin of Malik-Shah I. She was the mother of sultan Berkyaruq.
Zubayda was born to Emir Yaquti, son of Chaghri Beg. She married and influenced her cousin Malik-Shah I, giving birth to Berkyaruq in 1081 and a daughter, Gawhar Khatun.[1] After Berkyaruq became the Seljuk Sultan, Zubayda's brother-in-law Tutush I rebelled. After Berkyaruk suppressed the rebellion and killed his uncle, he wanted to bring his mother with him, although his vizier Mu'ayyid al-Mulk opposed this.[2] As a result of this, Mu'ayyid al-Mulk was dismissed and his brother Fakhr al-Mulk was appointed as the vizier. Berkyaruq's brother Muhammad Tapar later rebelled and declared himself as Sultan, reappointing Mu'ayyid al-Mulk, who had Zubayda Khatun captured and killed.
Zubayda Khatun is portrayed by Sezin Akbaşoğulları in the Turkish historical drama .[3] [4]
