The Dreadful Day-The Battle of Manzikert 1071 by Alfred Friendly
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 0.6MB
Overview: The story of hte lead-up to and aftermath of the battle of Manzikert and its subsequent conquest of Anatolia by the Seljuk Turks in August 1071 C.E. Its loss to the Byzantines had a long and melancholy effect. Byzantine historians felt the loss so deeply that it is never referred to in later documents by anything other than that ‘dreadful’ or ‘horrible’ day. Friendly uses this point in describing the events leading to and directly after the event, giving it a more exalted status than perhaps it deserves. His thesis argues the importance of the loss of this one battleand its effect on the future as a whole for the Eastern Empire.
