'''[[al-Dawla|Tāj al-Dawla]] Alp Arslān''', nicknamed '''al-Akhras''' (the Mute), was the [[Seljuk dynasty|Seljuk]] [[sultan of Aleppo]] from <small>[[Anno Domini|AD]]</small> 1113 (<small>[[Anno Hegirae|AH]]</small> 507) until his death in 1114 (508). According to [[Ibn al-Athīr]], he was not actually mute but had only a [[speech impediment]] and a [[stammer]]. He was the son of the Sultan [[Fakhr al-Mulk Radwan|Riḍwān]] and a daughter of [[Yağısıyan]], governor of [[Antioch]].
Alp Arslān was only sixteen years old when he succeeded his father as sultan of Aleppo on 10 December 1113. As a result, according to Ibn al-Athīr, he "had only the semblance of authority as sultan, while" his ''[[atabeg]]'' [[Lu'lu' al-Yaya|Luʾluʾ al-Yaya]] "had the reality". After coming to power, he ordered the death of his full brother Malikshāh and his paternal half-brother Mubārakshah in imitation of his father, who had also ordered the death of his brother's on coming to power.
While Luʾluʾ had control over the army, the ''[[aḥdāth]]'' (local militia) remained loyal to Alp Arslān and under his control. At the suggestion of Sāʿid ibn Badīʿ, ''[[raʾīs]]'' (leader) of the ''aḥdāth'', Alp Arslān persecuted the [[Nizārī]] [[Bāṭiniyya]], executing their leader, Abū Ṭāhir al-Sāʾigh (the Goldsmith), and confiscating the properties of the rest. In this way he drove many Nizārīs over to the Christian [[Principality of Antioch]]. He later turned Ibn Badīʿ, confiscating his property and exiling him to the [[Uqaylid|ʿUqaylid]] emirate of [[Qal'at Ja'bar|Qalʿat Jaʿbar]]. He replaced him as ''raʾīs'' of the ''aḥdāth'' by a foreigner, Ibrāhīm al-Furātī.
In 1114, Alp Arslān turned to [[Toghtekin|Ṭughtegin of Damascus]] for help against his ''atabeg'', Luʾluʾ. The ''atabeg'' acted quickly, He had the ''[[mamlūk]]''s murder Alp Arslān in the citadel. Luʾluʾ then placed Alp Arslān's six-year-old brother, [[Sulṭān Shāh ibn Riḍwān|Sulṭān Shāh]], on the throne.
