Malek Shah, also known as Malik Shah I, ruled as Seljuk sultan during the height of Seljuk power. Known for both his magnificence and his perpetual motion—described as a shepherd king constantly in action and in the field—his royal camp moved continuously. He favored Ascansar and granted him the privilege of standing at the right hand of the throne.
