Nikephoros meanwhile defeats a later pretender, Nikephoros …
Years: 1080 - 1080
Nikephoros meanwhile defeats a later pretender, Nikephoros Basilakios, who had succeeded Bryennios in Albania.
In 1080, another usurper, Nikephoros Melissenos, appears in Asia Minor and seeks Turkish assistance.
As a result of such constant internal strife, with one faction or another requesting aid from the Turks, there have been no troops to defend the eastern frontier, and most of Asia Minor is lost to the Empire.
