The Battle of Manzikert in 1071 marked a major turning point in Byzantine history. Emperor Romanos IV led the Byzantine army against the rising Seljuk Turks, aiming to secure Anatolia, but betrayal and miscalculation resulted in a devastating defeat. This battle not only sealed the fate of Romanos IV, it also marked the beginning of Byzantium’s long decline, opened Anatolia to Turkish settlement, and helped set the stage for the Crusades.
In this video, we explore the Battle of Manzikert, the strategies, mistakes, and betrayals that shaped its outcome, and why it remains one of the most important battles in Byzantine history and medieval warfare.
