Battle of Dimbos 1303

The follow-up battle to Bapheus as Osman I sought to tighten his grip on Bithynia. Very little information seems to be available for this battle. I have not been able to find out the name of the Byzantine commander yet, for example. I do know that the Byzantine army was made up of several local garrisons and that the fighting took place in a mountain pass. I have assumed that the Osmanli army was very similar to that which fought at Bapheus. There has been no mention of Alan auxiliaries fighting with the Byzantines either.

Updated to version 3 (June 2016) . . .

The information contained here is also relevant to the next battle in the series - Pelekanon 1329.
