The Turks have resumed their offensive operations…

1113 CE

The Turks have resumed their offensive operations against the Empire following the success of the First Crusade and the failure of the Crusade of 1101.

Emperor Alexios, aged and suffering from an illness that will prove to be terminal, is unable to deal with the swift Turkish raids into what remains of Roman Anatolia, penetrating as far as the Bosporus, but internal dissension has caused disunity following the death of Sultan Kilij Arslan.

Nonetheless, in the aftermath of the Frankish invasions, much land has been reconsolidated by the Seljuq Turks under the centralized authority of Iconium, where the Sultanate of Rum has established itself under Malik Shah.

After the imperial forces thwart an attempt to take Nicaea in 1113, the Seljuq Turks make a forced withdrawal across Anatolia.
