Joseph Tarchaneiotes was a Byzantine general, known for his lack of participation in the decisive Battle of Manzikert. An experienced general, Joseph was second in command of the Byzantine operation against Manzikert, with some 30-40,000 soldiers under his command.[1] His loss in the campaign, either through treachery, disgruntleness or defeated in battle seriously undermined Romanus' ability to fight. Even so, he survived the battle.
