Ahmed I (1198-1265) ruled as Salghurid Sultan from 1238 until 1265. Unlike his father Tuğtekin, Ahmed came to power peacefully. His reign was succesful and peaceful, thanks to Ahmed succesfully avoiding entanglement in the affairs of the Jurchens to his north east. He is considered to be the last capable ruler of the Salghurid Sultanate, which began to fracture soon after his death.
