Cirencester Castle Cirencester Castle was a castle in the town of Cirencester in Gloucestershire , England . The castle was originally built in the 11th century in timber , with a square keep added in stone in 1107 . The castle was of primarily local significance , being relatively small . During the Anarchy of the 12th century , the castle was seized in the early years of the conflict by Robert , Earl of Gloucester on behalf of the Empress Matilda . In 1142 King Stephen seized the castle in a surprise attack , setting fire to it afterwards . Subsequent events are disputed by historians . Most 19th - century historians argued that the castle was subsequently rebuilt and held by William de la Dive , a follower of Robert , Earl of Leicester , then a supporter of the Empress . When Robert came to an agreement with Stephen at the end of the conflict , William surrendered the castle to the king . During the baronial revolt against Henry III the castle was once again garrisoned against the king ; once captured by royal forces , Henry ordered it finally destroyed for good . Historian E . Fuller argued in 1890 , however , that this later history was a consequence of a misreading of place names , arguing that the history of the castle concluded with its destruction in 1142 .

Seljuq campaigns in the Aegean The Seljuq campaigns in the Aegean refer to the ground and naval actions conducted by the Seljuk Turks , chiefly under the leadership of Tzachas of Smyrna against the Byzantine Empire . A fierce opponent , Tzachas constructed the first Turkish navy and captured a few Aegean islands , supplemented by the conquest of Smyrna and Abydos . In the aftermath of the First Crusade Alexios I launched a counter - attack which regained the territories lost . Alexios was also able to rapidly quell the threat of Abu ' l Qasim , the Seljuk governor of Nicaea , who attempted to create a fleet of his own at Abydos in ca . 1090 . Tzachas recovered from his first defeat and retook several islands , but was definitively defeated at Lesbos by Constantine Dalassenos and John Doukas in 1092 . His capital , Smyrna , and most of the Aegean coastline were recovered by Doukas in 1097 , ending the Turks ' direct access to the Aegean . Alexios I Komnenos ' son , John II Komnenos inherited a sizable amount of land in Western Asia Minor , although the port city of Antalya was under Seljuq siege . Nonetheless , John ' s tireless campaigns drove the Turks deep into Anatolia and by 1143 the Seljuk Turks had lost all control of the coastal regions of Asia Minor . The Byzantines under Manuel I Komnenos could muster some 200 ships . Not until the demise of the Comnenian dynasty would the Turks capture a port and it was Umur of Aydin in c . 14th century that constituted the first Turkish threat to Christian shipping in the Aegean since the 11th century .
