Bailleul is released (for a ransom) in …
Years: 1077 - 1077
Bailleul is released (for a ransom) in 1077 from imperial incarceration to lead a battalion against the rebel Nikephoros Botaniates.
He defeats him handily, then plays the traitor and joins him.
Sueleiman volunteers his services to the Empire, and with the help of an army of Oghuz Turks, the Norman rebels are defeated in Cappadocia and Bailleul captured at Nicomedia.
He is given over to imperial authorities and executed.
The Seljuq-Greek alliance has thwarted this first attempt to create a Norman State in the East but serves, however, to facilitate the Turkish conquest of Asia Minor.
