Türkiye Selçuklu Devleti adına 17 Eylül 1176 yılında zaferle sonuçlanan Myriokephalon
Abstract
The Myriokephalon Battle which ended with victory in the year 1176 on 17th of September inbehalf of the Turkey Seljuk State, has a big place and importance in Turkish history. Because, thedesire of Byzantium to possess Anatolia again came to an end with this unsuccessful attempt. TheByzantium administrators whom had to concede that the peninsula became a Turkish homeland,didn’t find opportunity to undertake such a campaign again, except to protect the existing lands. Inthe last quarter of XIIth century most part of the peninsula united under Turkey Seljuk State rule aswell. The Turkish‐Muslim sources make no mention of the battle significantly, which eventuated841 years ago. But we have considerable knowledge about the event through some East (Byzantium,Assyrian and Armenian) and West chronicles, most of which are contemporary of the event. These Medieval chronicles has been utilized considering as if they mention the eventuating of the battle,it’s venue and the developments that took place afterwards. There are local and foreign researchespublished on the subject and some of them are intended to find the location of the war.
