Battle of Manzikert 1071 - Byzantine - Seljuq Wars Documentary

The Battle of Manzikert (Malazgirt, Manavazkert) of 1071 was fought between the Byzantine Empire and the new nomadic conquerors from Central Asia - the Seljuk Sultanate. This battle was decisive in changing the ethnic and the religious outlook of Anatolia, and probably was the reason Crusades from Western Europe began.

I first learned of this battle reading Julius Norwich excellent history of Byzantium. Diogenes was up against from the start. The theme system had collapsed, having to rely on mercenaries. Having to get a victory no matter what as the chances of raising an army of this size again were probably slim. Tactically 3 mistakes. Splitting your army, always a risky tactic before the age of radio communications. Not scouting the enemies position and strength Relying on one of the Doukas to command the rear guard . Given the Doukas hated him this seems a very stupid decision Also faced a very capable foe. Great video. Factual and unbiased

[@provocateur83]

Some historians also claim that Tarchaneiotes, the commander of the 30.000 troops detachment also betrayed Romanos along with Dukas, since his army at the time of the battle was positioned 150 km away from where they were supposed to be and to add to this claim, not a single messenger was sent to Romanos by Tarchaneiotes to notify him of his detachment’s whereabouts.

[@KingsandGenerals]

That is a valid point. Some historians claim that the Seljuks spread a rumor that Romanos is already defeated.

Love to Turkey from Iran ♥

[@elitemangudai1016]

I feel that the numbers of the Seljuk army should be talked about too. As a side note, Alp Arslan was besieging Syrian Aleppo with an Army of 100.000 men when he heard news of Romanos army approaching (though totally unaware of its massive size). The Seljuk emissaries sent to Romanos were met with Romanos' arrogance to take Iran Iraq and the entire muslim lands such extraordinary was the size of his army even for Byzantine standards. 100.000 men seems an accurate estimation but only for actual fighting army without logistical aid, siege engineers, etc. (Large siege equipments were being transported in his campaign as well.) Alp Arslan abandoned the siege of Aleppo but left his main army to take Aleppo and Syria. Thus, Alp Arslan also canceled his expedition to Egypt to annihilate the Shia Fatimid caliphate and swiftly moved with a force of 20.000 to meet the Byzantines. When his emissaries returned Alp Arslan was informed about the size of the Roman army. Thus he requested from his main army from Syria 20.000 soldiers. And another 10.000 from the eastern province of his empire. He had done so quickly and had no time calling his main army. So with he went to meet the Romans with only a fraction of his army with approximately 50 - 60.000 men. The Kurdish Marwanids a vassal dynasty to the Seljuks were aware of the existential threat the Romans posed to them because they were literally the closest target of the Roman army and sent to mounted units to aid the Seljuks.

[@LonelyGrayWolf]

Yes. The Seljuk army consisted of approximately 50,000 Turkish and 5,000 Kurdish warriors.

[@Hanfalas7762]

Yeah genoese crossbowman specially. But in real life if a horde of mounted man charges toward you you flee. And usually composite bow of horse archers has more range so if you put your archers front line cavalry will charge. If you put the. Back horse archer will harass footman. If you charge to them with cavalry they run back while shooting you because they dont have armored horse and they have Light equipment. So Best thing you can do is not fighting them on open terrain.

Lets be honest, you are just a butthurt armenian and want to erase the identtiy of turks. Nope, armenians arent native to anatolia, anatolia was origianlly populated by urartu and hattians. these people didint speak an indo europeans langauge, it was only that these people were replaced by armenians and greeks who came later. Indo europeans came from ukraine not from anatolia. Got that? They were killed and assimilate by greeks and armenians. And later came turks. Btw. how do you want to know that the invading turks did only number up to a million? Do you really believe that a small population can assimilate a bigger population? There are many genetic studies done on turks, also one that says that at least 30% of their genetics derrives from central asian nomadic turks. Its just that the rest was mixed because of mixing over time. Also, you didint read the study itself. it never said that only 13% of turks are of real turkic background, it said that all turks on average have a 13% central admixture. Its only that over time the central asian admixture was reduced over time by mixing. We're turks. deal with it.

alp arslan is so badass

[@napoleonnss]

Check the video. The battle was won by the Doukas treachery.

[@SultanTrk]

Doukas undoubtedly played a role in the Byzantine defeat but to go as far as to say the battle was won on his treachery alone is untrue. We see throughout the entire battle that Romanos had no idea on how to effectively combat the Seljuk horse archers. The battle was won by Alp Arslan as soon as Romanos decided to charge the Seljuks to the point his army had lost any cohesion.

[@napoleonnss]

First of all, it is clear on that video that the reserves left instead of supporting the right flank, as we watch. Right flank, that Romanos was forced then to support instead of chasing the Sejuqs at the center or encircle left . Consequently the center of the Seljuqs encircled the center and right. It is that clear that since the Roman forces outnumber the Seljuq, having the reserves supporting right as it should, Seljuqs would be outflanked and not the Romans. But the video is translating the original sources. And the original sources: 1. State the larger number of the Roman army 2. Mention that the center of Romans was already in the Seljuk camp in the center when Doukas just...left. 3, Romanos ordered initially retriet from the Seljuq camp since the center of Seljuq was running far beyond the camp. So, the moment that Doukas left, the Seljuq forces were in trouble and devided , not the total Roman army. It is also shown that the Seljuks fought a smaller part of the Roman army even then.The lawful to Romanos Cappadoceans and Armenians. The rest left soon following the Doukas troops.
