The Battle of Sebastia (1070) was part of the Byzantine–Seljuk wars.
History
The Seljuk army was spreading to Anatolia, which disturbed the Byzantine Empire. The Byzantine emperor sent an army under the leadership of Manuel Komnenos against a Seljuk army that was campaigning in present-day Sivas. The Byzantine army suffered heavy losses, forcing it to retreat. In this battle, Manuel Komnenos was captured.[2][3][4]
