		The Battle of Hattin in 1187 was a major setback in the fortunes of the Crusader movement, enabling the Muslims to regain control of Jerusalem from the Christians.
		The Battle of Hattin took place near Tiberias, in an area whose chief geographic feature is a double hill, in fact an extinct volcano, (the "Horns of Hattin") beside a pass through the northern mountains between Tiberias and the road from Acre to the west.
		News of the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Hattin was the catalyst for the formation of the Third Crusade, and was also said to have caused Pope Urban III to die of shock.

	Battle of Manzikert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Manzikert, or The Battle of Malazgirt, was fought between the Byzantine Empire and Seljuk forces led by Alp Arslan on August 26, 1071 near Manzikert, Armenia (modern Malazgirt, Turkey).
		What followed the battle was a chain of events, of which the battle was the first ring, that were going to destabilize the Empire in the years after the battle.
		Delbruck considers that the importance of the battle has been exaggerated; but it is clear from the evidence that as a result of it, the Empire was unable to put an effective army into the field for many years to come.

	Battle of Manzikert (1071 A.D.)
		The Battle of Manzikert occurred on August 26, 1071 between the Byzantine Empire and Seljuk Turkish forces led by Alp Arslan, resulting in the defeat of the Byzantine Empire and the capture of Emperor Romanus IV Diogenes.
		Years and decades later, Manzikert came to be seen as a disaster for the Empire; later sources greatly exaggerate the numbers of troops and the numbers of casualties.
		It is also considered one of the root causes for the later Crusades: the West saw Manzikert as a signal that Byzantium was no longer capable of being the protector of Eastern Christianity, or Christian prilgrims to the Holy Places in the Middle East.

	Byzantium: The Battle of Manzikert (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The battle of Manzikert was such a shattering defeat that the Byzantines were never able to speak of it as other than "that terrible day".

		The Battle of Manzikert can be seen as the most disastrous battle in the history of Byzantine civilization.

		At the Battle of the Yarmuk (river), between the Muslim Arabs and the Byzantines, the Muslim Arabs were losing the battle in the initial stages.
		The battle of Manzikert saw a repeat of the history of defection of a Muslim contingent, an act that was seen at the Battle of Qadissiyah between the Sassanids and the Arab Muslims, this had once again proved that a Muslim soldier can never be loyal to a non-Muslim commander.
		At the battle of Manzikert, the Muslim Seljuk Turks attacked the Byzantines at noon and then feigned a retreat and withdrew to higher ground to catch the Byzantine army in the valley by surprise.

	The Battle of Manzikert
		Because the battle was fought in the late afternoon it was dusk by the time the Turks reached the camp, allowing the survivors to escape under the cover of darkness to the safety of nearby Manzikert.
		Manzikert was less an invitation for the Turks to invade than for the Byzantine’s to begin a civil war.
		So, while the Seljuks may have defeated the Byzantines in battle and seized their territories in Anatolia, Suleyman’s recognition of the emperor’s authority allowed Byzantines to incorporate the Seljuks within the eokoimene, or at least maintain the fiction that Anatolia had been restored to the Romans.

	Talk:Battle of Manzikert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		modern: this battle allowed the turks to set foot on Anatolia.if they had lost,maybe they would never be able to create a state in the area.so,from the modern point of view,its significance is rather important.
		greek: for the greeks this battle is an event in the series of the turkish conquer of Anatolia,an event less important than the fall of Constantinople or Trabzon,and as a historic event,less important than the fall of Constantinople to the Crusaders.
		Given that the battle was in open field suggests that the Byzantine army is not necessarily more than an order of magnitude larger than the Turkish army.
