About

Following the death of Anushtegin, Ekinchi was given the position of Khwarazmshah by the Seljuk Sultan Berkyaruq. After a short period of time, however, he was killed by several Seljuk amirs who had risen in revolt. After he died, he was replaced by Anushtegin's son, Qutb al-Din Muhammad.

Ekinchi literally means "farmer" or "ploughman" in Turkic languages.
