Siege of Cefalù (837–838)

The Siege of Cefalù or Siege of Kephaloidion was undertaken by the forces of the Aghlabids against the Byzantine city of Cefalù. The siege was conducted over a prolonged period from late 837 to spring 838, before a Byzantine relief force under the Caesar Alexios Mosele arrived and broke the siege, saving the city.
