9th century edit

Eunuchs began to appear in the military, as well as at court, in the early ‘Abbasid period, often serving on the Byzantine frontier, like Faraj al-Khādim al-Turkī who rebuilt Tarsus in 170/787. The tradition was revived in the post- Samarra period when we find Yāzmān al-Khādim leading raids on Byzantine territory from Tarsus in 270–8/883–91. Eunuchs continued to lead expeditions from Tarsus as late as Thumal al-Khādim in 330/941–2.[37]

Year Datea Event Ref(s)
802 Deposition of Irene of Athens. The new emperor Nikephoros I refuses to continue the annual tribute to the Caliphate. [38][39]
803 Harun al Rashid launches a raid (Venning: under his son Qasim) in retaliation for the cessation of tribute; taking advantage of Nikephoros' preoccupation with the revolt of Bardanes Tourkos, the Arab army captured Heraclea Cybistra before returning on promises of renewed tribute. [40][41]
804 Harun raids Anatolia and defeats Nikephoros at the Battle of Krasos in Phrygia.[42]
805 Outbreak of revolt in Khorasan forces Harun to arrange for a truce; 3,700 Arabs are exchanged with Byzantine prisoners at the river Lamus. Later in the year, Nikephoros breaks the truce and sends troops to attack Melitene and Tarsus, which is sacked. The inhabitants of Cyprus also rebel against the Arab condominium. [43][44]
806 Harun invades Cappadocia with a huge force, reputedly comprising 135,000 men, while a fleet under Humayd raids Cyprus. Harun takes Heraclea Cybistra and its grain stores, as well as the fortress of Tyana, where he builds a mosque. He is persuaded to withdraw only after the payment of 50,000 dinars and a pledge not to rebuild the captured forts. [45][46]
807 The Abbasid general Yazid is dispatched to rad Anatolia, but is killed near the Cilician Gates. Another larger raid in July is confronted by Nikephoros, but the ensuing battle is indecisive.

808 The Byzantines retake control of the Cilician Gates. The growing rebellion in Khorasan forces Harun to conclude a truce, and another prisoner exchange takes place at Podandos. [48]
809 Death of Harun and succession of al-Amin, which is disputed by al-Ma'mun. The ensuing civil war lasts until 819 and eases pressure on the Byzantines for the next few years, allowing Nikephoros I to shift his focus against the Bulgars. [49][50][51]

821 Taking advantage of the outbreak of the revolt of Thomas the Slav, Arab troops raid southern Anatolia. Thomas launches counter-raids into Abbasid territory before coming to terms with the Caliph: the Abbasids recognize him as emperor, probably in exchange for territorial concessions and/or a payment of tribute, and even allow him to be crowned at Antioch by the Greek patriarch of the city.

841 Abu Sa'id raids Cappadocia but the Byzantines repel and pursue him back to Cilicia, retaking the prisoners and the plunder taken back. Abu Sa'id repeats the raid after a few months and is again thrown back, with the Byzantines capturing Marash/Germanikeia in the process. A truce is concluded between Theophilos and Mu'tasim.

860 In March, Byzantine attempts to get the garrison at Loulon to switch sides fail as the garrison arrests the Byzantine envoy. A truce is agreed and prisoners (1,000 Christians for 2,000 Muslims) are exchanged.[75] A summer campaign by Michael III to the East is forced to turn back due to a sudden Rus' raid on the Bosporus. At the same time, Cretan Saracens enter the Marmara Sea from the south and raid Proconnesus.[75] The Emir of Malatya, Umar al-Aqta, invades Cappadocia, and defeats Michael III at Chonarion.[75] His raid is followed by another invasion by Ali ibn Yahya al-Armani from Cilicia, and a naval expeditionthat sacked the capital of the Cibyrrhaeot Theme and major Byzantine naval base, Attaleia.[76]

On its return, the Arab army is encircled by forces from all themes and annihilated at the Battle of Lalakaon on 3 September.

10th century edit

The best known of all the military eunuchs was undoubtedly Mu’nis al-Khādim, al-Muqtadir’s main military commander.[82] Fortunately this is supplemented by the work of Abū ‘Alī Miskawayh, whose Tajārib al-umam continues the story in much greater detail....The chronicle has its heroes and its villains and a clear philosophy of government. The main hero is ‘Alī b.‘Īsā, ‘the good vizier’, the classic image of the competent, honest, pious and forthright administrator. Along with him is his chief ally, the military leader Mu’nis al-Khādim (the Eunuch), who is again portrayed as competent, honest and loyal to the Caliph.[83]
