Chaghri Beg
The name Chaghri is Turkic (Çağrı in modern Turkish) and literally means "small falcon", "merlin".The Great Seljuk Empire was named after the latter, who was a Turkic clan leader either in Khazar[4] or Oghuz states.In the early years of the 11th century, they left their former home and moved near the city of Jend (now a village) by the Syr Darya river, where they accepted the suzerainty of the Karakhanids in Transoxania (roughly modern Uzbekistan and southern Kazakhstan).Both were raised by their grandfather Seljuk until they were fifteen and fought with Ali Tigin Bughra Khan, a minor Kara Khanid noble, against Mahmud of Ghazni.[7] Between 1038 and 1040 Chaghri fought against the Ghaznavids, usually with hit and run maneuvers and culminating in a major clash at the Battle of Dandanaqan.In the 2021 Turkish TV series Alparslan: Büyük Selçuklu, he is portrayed by actor Erdinç Gülener.
