Capture of Loulon
Part of the Arab–Byzantine wars in 832
The Capture of Loulon was a military engagement between the Abbasid army and the Byzantine garrison of Loulon. In 832, the Abbasid Caliph, al-Ma'mun, invaded Asia Minor and besieged the great fort of Loulon. The siege prolonged for several months, and after the defeat of the Byzantine relief force, the fortress surrendered to the Abbasids.
