Battle of Damghan (1063)
12/1063 AD defeated
Alp Arslan's main army was about 15 km east of Qutalmısh. Qutalmısh tried to change the course of a creek to block Alp Arslan's way. However Alp Arslan was able to pass his army through the newly created marsh land. Once the two Seljuk armies met, Qutalmısh's forces fled from the battle.
Resul as well as Qutalmısh's son Suleyman (later founder of the Sultanate of Rum) were taken prisoner.
