Notes on Turkish Raids
1- Some raids were undertaken by independent Turkmen tribes, not
necessarily on orders from the Sultans
2- Other raids were led by Sultans, such Tughril Beg in 1054 and Alp
Arslan in 1064.
4- raid quickly and withdraw with booty before the main Byzantine
army can mobilize
Turkish Raiding Strategies
9- if the Turks sack the city, they plunder slaves, luxury items and
money.
Turkish Raiding Strategies
10- After a raid the Turks attempt to withdraw back into northwest
Iran as quickly as possible with their booty
11- If they are cornered, the Turks abandon their plunder in order to
allow the army to escape.
