The Battle of Myriokephalon, also known as Myriocephalum, was a battle between the Byzantine Empire and the Seljuk Turks in Phrygia on September 17, 1176.
Myriokephalon had more of a psychological impact than a military impact, as it proved the Empire still could not defeat the Seljuks despite the advances made during Manuel's reign.
Manuel continued to meet the Seljuks in smaller battles throughout his reign, until he died in 1180.

Manuel I Comnenus had been at peace with Kilij Arslan II, the Seljuk Sultan of Rum until 1175, when Kilij Arslan refused to return territory he had conquered from their common enemy the Danishmends.
The army moving towards Amasia was destroyed, and Turkish envoys brought Manuel the head of its commander.
Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but the Byzantines had the inferior force and were allowed to escape only when Manuel promised to remove his forts and armies on the frontier at Dorylaeum and Siblia.
