The Zangid Dynasty was found by Imad Al-Din Zangi, who was the Seljuk Governor ( Atabeg ) of Mosul in 1127 AD. He was successful in controling Mosul and most of the north of Iraq. Upon his death, his land was decvided between His sons , Saif Al-Din ( who controlled Mosul and north of Iraq ), and Nur Al-Din ( who controlled Aleppo, and later on Damascus & Egypt ). Further more, this division increased later on, with Sinjar becoming a seperate rule as well as Al-Jazira rteritory.
