Altuntash

Altuntash (died 1032) was a Turkic khwarazmshah from 1017 until his death in 1032.

Altuntash was originally a slave commander serving the Ghaznavid Sebüktegin. Though he was able to extricate his army from the indecisive battle, Altun died of wounds received in the conflict. He had two sons, Harun and Ismail Khandan. Harun was not made Khwarazmshah following his death, although he was effectively ruler of Khwarazm.
