Mas'ūd III of Ghazna (b. 1061 – d. 1115), was a sultan of the Ghaznavid Empire and son of Ibrahim of Ghazna.
Life
[edit]Mas'ūd was born in 1061 in Ghazni.[1]
Reign
[edit]Mas'ud was sultan for 16 years. In 1112, Mas'ūd III built the Palace of Sultan Mas'ud III in Ghazni, Afghanistan. Mas'ūd also built one of the Minarets of Ghazni.[2][3][4] Signs of weakness in the state became apparent when he died in 1115, with internal strife between his sons ending with the ascension of Sultan Bahram Shah as a Seljuk vassal.[5] Bahram Shah defeated his brother Arslan for the throne at the Battle of Ghazni in 1117.
