Timeline

  1. 1061–1065Transoxiana · TransoxianaIn the early 1060s, Transoxiana was nominally under Karakhanid rule, but Seljuk hegemony in Khurasan and Ghaznavid remnants in the east imposed external constraints; the cities had to weigh multiple overlords and neighbors in actual diplomacy and warfare.
  2. 1066–1070Samarkand · TransoxianaAfter the death of Tamghach Ibrahim, competition over the western khanship gave local emirs in Samarkand, Bukhara, and elsewhere greater autonomy; some city-states began paying tribute to the Seljuks or seeking their arbitration, shifting Transoxiana's political center from a single khansate court to a multi-centered consultative order.
