Introduction

Hello All,

I''ve been interested in history since I was a teenager, and Byzantine history from about the age of 18.

I'd been posting to a Face Book group, but I felt I was swamping it and did not want to look like a 'know-all' so I take a break from Face Book and will use this special blog for my musings, for the moment on Byzantium..

Thank you for browsing!

A particular chapter of Byzantine history that is overlooked yet is pivotal in the history of the world, is the period when Anatolia, came under the control of Muslim emirs such as the Seljuks, and I will be writing about that here.

(I hope to recover my writings on the year 1071AD)
