The Battle of Vaspurakan took place between Seljuk and Byzantine forces in 1046 during which the Turks raided Vaspurakan and then defeated and captured its governor.[1][3][2]
The Seljuk ruler Tughril Bey sent Ibrahim Yinal and Qutalmish to Azerbaijan, they advanced towards the lands inhabited by the Armenians and Georgians.[2] The son of Chaghri Bey, Yakuti, conquered al-Jebel, Daylem and parts of Azerbaijan.[2] The Seljuk advance had therefore reached the Aras river. In 1046 the Seljuk Turks defeated the Byzantines in the Battle of Ganja.[2] Following this battle the Seljuk Turks entered into another conflict with the Byzantines.[2]
In 1046 Qutalmish initiated a conflict with the Byzantines, this was because the Seljuks were denied permission to cross Lake Van by the regent of Vaspurakan, Stephanos.[4] As a result, a battle ensued and Qutalmish emerged victorious over the Byzantine regent.[1][4][2][5] Stephanos was taken captive by the Seljuks and sold in a slave market in Tabriz.[2]
