Years: 1304 - 1304

The Catalan Company makes one successful counterattack against the Turks at Philadelphia in western Anatolia.

Roger de Flor is given the region without the cities as his fiefdom.

However, the Catalans, claiming insufficient payment by the emperor, turn on their patrons and attack the nearby town of Magnesia (modern Alasehir, Turkey), robbing Greeks and Turks alike.

Roger de Flor's evident intention to found a principality of his own, combined with the predatory activities of his army, lead to his recall at the end of 1304.
