Siege of Mosul (1096)

The siege of Mosul (حِصَارُ المَوصِل) was a siege carried out by the Seljuks on the city of Mosul, the capital of the Uqaylid dynasty and the seat of its rule. They were able to storm the city in October 1096 AD after the intensification of the 9-months siege.

The incident ended with the collapse of the Uqaylid dynasty on Dhul-Qi'dah 4, 489 AH, after a rule that lasted more than 100 years.
