Tutush II was son of Duqaq, who reigned Damascus during first crusade.
After the death of Daqqaq in 6 June 1104,[1] Toghtekin carried out his will by taking over the governorship of Damascus after him and providing custody of his young son, Tutush ibn Duqaq,[2] until he grew up and raising him well.
[citation needed] Irtash briefly replaced his one-year-old nephew, Tutush II, as ruler of Damascus.
Three months after his appointment as ruler, Toghtekin overthrew Tutush II, and was restored to power again, but he soon passed away.
[3] Thereafter, Toghtekin recognized the suzerainty of Ridwan, Sultan of Aleppo, but retained effective authority over the Emirate of Damascus, establishing the Burid dynasty.
