Why did Alexios I Komnenos call for aid in 1095? (Ep.4: Seljuks)

The collapse of the Byzantine Empire’s authority in Anatolia in the wake of its defeat at Manzikert led to the ascent of a number of Turkish warlords in the region. In this episode, Professor Jonathan Harris (Royal Holloway University of London) explores the threat presented to the empire by men such as Suleyman, Caka, Danishmend Ghazi and Kilij Arslan.

This episode is the fourth in a mini-series of five. The complete mini-series includes:

Ep.1: What happened at the Battle of Manzikert?

Ep.2: What were the internal consequences of the defeat at Manzikert?

Ep.3: What western threats did the Byzantine Empire face?

Ep.4: What eastern threats did the Byzantine Empire face?

Ep.5: How successful was Alexios I Komnenos in stabilising the Byzantine Empire up to 1095?

This mini-series is based on:

Byzantium and the Crusades (Third Edition)

Introduction to Byzantium 602-1453

The Lost World of Byzantium

Constantinople: Capital of Byzantium (Second Edition)
