28 - Manzikert

from The Turkish History Podcast · host The Turkish History Podcast

As Alp Arslan returns from the campaign in Syria, news reaches him that the Emperor of the Romans, Romanos Diogenes, is on the warpath. A large Byzantine army marches East to retake Manzikert, as the Heroic Lion races West from Azerbaijan with whatever forces he can get his hands on. The two armies meet on the plains of Manzikert in August 1071, where the fate of Anatolia is decided and where the Turkish nation finds its homeland.
