Aq Sunqur al-Hajib
Abu Said Aq Sunqur al-Hajib (full name: Qasim ad-Dawla Aksungur al-Hajib) was the Seljuk governor of Aleppo under Sultan Malik Shah I. He was considered the de facto ruler of most of Syria from 1087. He was beheaded in 1094 following accusations of treason by Tutush I, the ruler of Damascus.
Aq-Sunqur was the father of Imad ad-Din Zengi, the founder of the Zengid dynasty. He died when his son Zengi was 10 years old.
