The Battle of Dyrrhachium was a battle between Robert Guisicard's Normans and Alexios Komnenos's Byzantines.
What are the results of a Byzantine Victory?
"Alexius was undoubtedly a good tactician, but he was badly let down by the indisciplined rush to pursue the beaten enemy wings, a cardinal sin in the Byzantine tactical manuals. He failed to take adequate account of the effectiveness of the Norman heavy cavalry charge, which punched through his lines with little resistance." John Haldon's assessment of the battle.[25]
