The Battle of Iconium was an unsuccessful attempt by the Seljuk Turks to capture the city of Iconium, modern day Konya. After sacking Ani and Caesarea in 1063 and 1067 respectively speaking (some sources suggest as early as 1064), the Byzantine army in the East was in too poor a shape to resist the advance of the Turks. Had it not been for the efforts of the co-emperor Romanus Diogenes the Byzantine Empire would have suffered her "Manzikert" disaster sooner.

  • The Battle of Iconium was an unsuccessful attempt by the Seljuk Turks to capture the city of Iconium, modern day Konya. After sacking Ani and Caesarea in 1063 and 1067 respectively speaking (some sources suggest as early as 1064), the Byzantine army in the East was in too poor a shape to resist the advance of the Turks. Had it not been for the efforts of the co-emperor Romanus Diogenes the Byzantine Empire would have suffered her "Manzikert" disaster sooner. From Syria, a successful counter-attack drove the Turks back. Further campaigning was met with some success by Romanus, despite the ill nature of his army which had been poorly led since the death of Basil II. The victory was a short respite - sometime after Manzikert, in the midst of the petty and rather thoughtless civil conflict, Iconium fell to the Turks. The city saw a brief return to Christendom during the First Crusade, possibly under Byzantine rule but the Turks counter-attacked at the Crusade of 1101 and Konya would form the capital of Byzantium's most dangerous opponent.
  • La bataille d'Iconium qui se déroula en 1069 fut une tentative infructueuse des Seldjoukides de prendre la ville d'Iconium (Konya). Après le sac d'Ani et Césarée, respectivement en 1063 et 1067, l'armée byzantine d'Orient n'a pas les forces nécessaires pour stopper la vague turque, malgré les futurs efforts de Romain Diogène en 1071 lors de la bataille de Mantzikert. Malgré cette faiblesse, une contre-attaque réussit à repousser les Turcs d'Iconium. Mais ce répit fut court, après la bataille de Mantzikert, des problèmes internes apparurent dans l'Empire byzantin et une des conséquences de ces dissensions fut la prise par les Turcs de la ville d'Iconium. Après un bref retour dans le giron chrétien suite à la première Croisade. Elle retomba définitivement aux mains des Turcs en 1101 et devint sous le nom de Konya la capitale d'un des sultanats les plus dangereux pour l'avenir de Byzance.
