We all make a big mistake about majicert when we mantion historical batlles.Afcource it was the batlle of it's time but for the byzantine history the main battle event was a year after between the real emperor Romanos 4th Diogenes and the aristocracy in which the emperor lost...The rebels established a new imperial family,a number of real bad emperors given the oportunity to turks to gain asia minor in less than 10 years...Emperor Romanos even he lost in majicert made a very good agryment with Arp Aslan and the empire's borders didn't change...Infact the seljuk leader gave to emperor a number of troops to help him regain his empire from the traitors...So which battle must be the begining one for the byz.empire?What do you think?
