Turkic custom called for the senior member of the family to be the Great Seljuk, although usually the position was associated with the ruler of western Persia.

==Titles== Members of the Seljuk Dynasty often used titles to signify claim and authority. They were also awarded some titles by their subjects and the ulema due to their efforts for public and religious welfare. Here is a list of titles used by/awarded to them. Common titles like Şehzade are not listed. {{collapsible list | title=Great Seljuk ''(Official/Non-official)'': | {{tree list}} ** '''Abu Talib Muhammad Tughril ibn Mika'il''' *** Head of the Seljuk dynasty{{efn|Together with Chaghri Bey.}} *** Sultan of the Great Seljuk Empire *** Bey *** Malik al-Mashriq wa'l-Maghrib<ref name=sümer>{{cite encyclopedia|encyclopedia=TDV İslâm Ansiklopedisi|title=TUĞRUL BEY es-Sultânü'l-muazzam Şâhânşâh Rüknüddîn Ebû Tâlib Tuğrul Bey Muhammed b.
