Icon Michael VII, Emperor (Byzantine Empire) : All Data

Michael VII was the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire from 1071 to 1078. During his reign, he faced significant challenges, including the devastating Battle of Manzikert in 1071, where the Byzantines suffered a crushing defeat against the Seljuk Turks. This defeat led to the loss of Anatolia and marked the beginning of the Byzantine Empire's decline in the region. Additionally, Michael VII had to deal with the Norman invasion of the Balkans, which occurred between 1071 and 1078. These wars and revolts greatly impacted Michael VII's rule and contributed to the weakening of the Byzantine Empire during his tenure.
