		His main concern is the independence of Ridwan of Aleppo and Ilghazi, the Ortoqid prince now controlling Mardin, but he is also there to keep an eye on the Franks.

		The Roupenians become concerned with growing power of the Danishmends to the north of the Anti-Taurus, and give little thought to the west where the Seljuks are slowly recovering from the death of Kilij Arslan.

		10-03-2005 04:37 PM I still think that the Danishmends should be added to give more interest to the East, and more variety to the Turks.
		If you read something like Anna Comnena's Alexiad you'll see that the Danishmend Turks played quite a vital role in either menacing the Byzantines or the Seljuks.
		Indeed, for a time it was possible that the Danishmends might have supplanted the Seljuks rather than the other way around.

		Regions which had been lost to the empire ever since Manzikert were recovered and garrisoned.
		Yet resistance, particularly from the Danishmends of the north-east, was strong, and the difficult nature of holding down the new conquests is illustrated by the fact that Kastamonu was recaptured by the Turks even as John was in Constantinople celebrating its return to Byzantine rule.
		John persevered, however, and Kastamonu was soon changed hands once more.

		From 1107 until 1307, when their state was destroyed by the Mongols, the Sultanate of Rum with its capital at Konya (Iconium) developed the features of the frontier- gazi state as well as certain cultural features that became the foundations of the Ottoman state.

		These warriors became settlers once their fighting days were over, and land was the greatest reward they could receive.

		While they did so, Alexius was able to establish a new and more secure boundary between Byzantium and Islam through the middle of Anatolia.
		Full advantage was taken of the prevailing rivalry between the Seljuq sultans at Konya and the rival dynasty of the Danishmend emirs at Melitene (near modern Malatya, Tur.); and a limit was set to the westward expansion of the Turks.
		The First Crusade thus brought some benefits to Byzantium.
