Khāṣṣ Beg b. Palang-Eri (d. Ṣafar 548/April-May 1153) was the most powerful amīr at the court of the Saljūq sultans of Iraq in the fourth decade of the sixth/twelfth century. His name was Beg Arslan (Nīshāpūrī, 192). According to an augmented version of the Saljūq-nāma , the most ancient chronicle of the Saljūqs, Khāṣṣ Beg grew up among a group of Turkmens who had their summer pastures on Mount Sabalān, in Eastern Azarbaijan, and their winter pastures probably in the Transcaucasian region of Mughān or Arrān,
