In 1071, control of the Byzantine Empire was significantly challenged following the Battle of Manzikert, where the Seljuk Turks, led by Sultan Alp Arslan, defeated the Byzantine army. This defeat led to the loss of much of Anatolia to the Turks and marked the beginning of a decline in Byzantine power. The Byzantine Emperor at the time, Romanos IV Diogenes, was captured, further weakening the empire's authority and territory.
