Muawiyah has periodically dispatched land expeditions into Anatolia at the same time that has been prosecuting his naval campaigns against Constantinople.

All these campaigns, however, cease with the accession of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib to the caliphate.

A member of 'Uthman's Meccan clan, the Banu Umayyah, Muawiyah takes up the demands for vengeance for the blood of his murdered kinsman and questions the validity of 'Ali's caliphate.
