  • The Battle of Kapetrou (also Kapetru or Kaputru) was fought between the Byzantine-Georgian armies and the Seljuk Turks on September 10 or September 18, 1048. It was the culmination of an Anatolian expedition of İbrahim Yinal, a uterine brother of the sultan Toğrül. The emperor Constantine IX sent to the Georgian warlord Liparit, whom the Byzantines had aided in his struggle against the Georgian king Bagrat IV, to unite against the advancing Seljuks; but ordered defensive strategy till the arrival of Georgian reinforcements. The battle was preceded by the complete destruction of Arzen or Artze, a vibrant commercial center in the Byzantine-administered thema of Iberia and Armenia, by the Seljuk forces. A combined Byzantine-Georgian army of 50,000, under the command of Aaron, Kekaumenos and Liparit, met the Seljuks head-on at Kapetrou (modern-day Hasan Kale). In a fierce nocturnal battle, the Christian allies failed to achieve any serious success, and Ibrahim Yinal was able to safely leave the Byzantine territory, laden with spoils and captives, including the Georgian commander Liparit. The emperor later sent ransoms to Toğrül who refused them, however, and released Liparit on condition that he would never again fight the Seljuks. The devastation left behind by the Seljuk raid was so fearful that the Byzantine magnate Eustathios Boilas described, in 1051/52, those lands as "foul and unmanageable... inhabited by snakes, scorpions, and wild beasts. " The Arab chronicler Ibn al-Athir reports that Ibrahim brought back 100,000 captives and a vast booty loaded on the backs of ten thousand camels.
  • La bataille de Kapetrou se déroula en 1048 et opposa Byzantins et Géorgiens d'une part aux Turcs d'autre part. Elle fut l'aboutissement de la campagne de Ibrahim Yinal le frère du sultan Toghrul-Beg. L'empereur byzantin Constantin IX demanda au seigneur géorgien le prince Liparit III Orbéliani, que les Byzantins avaient aidé dans sa lutte contre le roi géorgien Bagrat IV de s'unir avec lui contre les Seldjoukides. Il ordonna à ses troupes une stratégie défensive en attendant les renforts géorgiens. La bataille fut précédée par la destruction complète par les Turcs de la ville d'Arzen, un important centre commercial de l'Empire byzantin. Cette ville se trouve dans le thème d'Ibérie et d'Arménie à proximité de l'actuelle Erzeroum en Turquie. L'armée byzantino-géorgienne constituée de 50 000 hommes et sous le commandement de Liparit, et de Aaron Kekaumenos rencontra les Seldjoukides à proximité de Kapetrou (l'actuelle Hasan Kale). Il s'ensuivit une féroce bataille nocturne. L'armée chrétienne échoua dans sa tentative d'anéantissement de l'armée turque mais Ibrahim Yinal estima plus prudent de quitter le territoire byzantin avec le butin acquis lors des précédentes campagnes ainsi que de nombreux prisonniers dont Liparit III. L'empereur byzantin envoya ensuite une rançon pour obtenir la libération du chef géorgien. Toghrul Beg refusa dans un premier temps puis décida de le relâcher à condition qu'il ne combatte plus les Seldjoukides. Les ravages laissés par le raid turc furent tellement nombreux que le Byzantin Eustathios Boilas décrit en 1051/1052 ces terres comme non-fertiles, détruites et habitées par des serpents, des scorpions et des bêtes sauvages. Le chroniqueur arabe Ibn Al-Athir rapporte lui que Ibrahim aurait fait au cours de sa campagne 100 000 prisonniers et aurait chargé un immense butin sur 10 000 chameaux.
  • Pasinler Muharebesi Selçuklularla Bizanslılar arasında yapılmış bir meydan muharebesidir. Pasinler Muharebesi Bizanslılarla yapılan yüzyıllık çarpışmalardaki ilk büyük meydan muharebesidir. Selçuklu ordusu 18 Eylül 1048 tarihinde Pasinler Ovasında 50.000 kişilik Rum, Ermeni, Gürcü ve Abazalardan kurulu bir Bizans ordusuyla karşılaştı. Selçuklu ordusuna Tuğrul Bey'in üvey kardeşi İbrahim İnal Bey'le amcaoğlu Kutalmış kumanda ediyordu. Sabahtan akşama kadar süren bu muharebede, Malazgirt Muharebesi gibi bozkır taktiği ile kazanılmış ve böyle bir taktiğe alışık olmayan rakiplerinin yok edilmesiyle sonuçlanmıştır. Bizans ordusuna kumanda eden Gürcü kökenli Liparit tutsak edilip ordusu yok edilmiştir. İbrahim İnal Bey, bu başarısından dolayı Tuğrul Bey'in kendisine vermek istediği büyük maddî hediyeleri kabul etmediği gibi, Tuğrul Bey de Liparit'in salıverilmesi için teklif ettiği büyük fidyeyi kabul etmeyerek Liparit'i salıvermiştir. Bunun sonucunda Selçuklular Bizanslıları bir kez daha malup edip Anadoluya yerleşmek için gözdağı vermişlerdir. Bununla beraber Selçuklular gücünü ispatlamıştır. bu bir piçlik böyle bir yarrrrrrak görmedim
