  • January 1074: In 1073 following the disastrous Battle of Manzikert, Frankish mercenaries under Roussel de Bailleul seized control of Ankara and governed the region for several months.
  • January 1075: Byzantine emperor Michael VII resorted to the Turks against the usurper: he convinced the Seljuk warlord Tutush I to dismiss Ballieul and the Norman was forced to take refuge in Amasya, where he was later (1074) taken prisoner by Alexius I Comnenus, then only general.
