The fall of the Byzantine Empire

The routes of the armies before the battle of Manzikert
  • August 26th: In the battle of Manzikert in western Armenia , the Seljuks defeat the army of the Byzantine Empire . Emperor Romanos IV is taken prisoner and is released against payment of a ransom and the conclusion of a peace treaty. When the terms of the peace treaty became known, Kaisar Johannes Dukas initiated a popular uprising. Romanos IV and his young sons Leon and Nikephorus are therefore deposed in Constantinople and the treaty, which would have provided for annual tribute payments and the obligation to provide Byzantine auxiliaries, is declared invalid.
  • October 24th: Johannes Dukas makes his nephew Michael VII the sole emperor of the Byzantine Empire. After his coronation, Michael calls the eunuch Nikephoritzes from his exile in Antioch on the Orontes back to the court in Constantinople. As a Logothet , he quickly gained influence and ousted other leading figures in the government.
  • Due to the internal turmoil, the Byzantine defense collapses and the Turkish colonization and Islamization of Asia Minor begin. Danischmend Ghazi founds the dynasty of the Danischmenden , the Sultanate of the Rum-Seljuks , initially from Nikaia , later from Iconium , replaces Ostrom as the dominant power in central and eastern Anatolia.
