Komnenos
Komnenos or Comnenus (Greek: Κομνηνός), plural Komnenoi or Comneni (Κομνηνοί, pronounced /komniní/), is the name of a ruling family of the Eastern Roman or Byzantine Empire and Greek noble family, who ruled the Byzantine state from 1081 to 1185, and later, as the Grand Komnenoi (Μεγαλοκομνηνοί, Megalokomnenoi) founded and ruled the Empire of Trebizond (1204–1461).
Origins
Michael Psellos reports that the family originated from the village of Komne in Thrace—usually identified with the "Fields of Komnene" (Κομνηνῆς λειμῶνας) mentioned in the 14th century by John Kantakouzenos—a view commonly accepted by modern scholarship. The first known member of the family, Manuel Erotikos Komnenos, acquired extensive estates at Kastamon in Paphlagonia, which became the stronghold of the family in the 11th century. The family thereby quickly became associated with the powerful and prestigious military aristocracy (dynatoi) of Asia Minor, so that despite its Thracian origins it came to be considered "eastern".

12 Byzantine Rulers Part 14 Alexius
When the 24 year old Alexius Comnenus came to the throne, the glories of the Empire seemed long gone. Its "invincible" army had been smashed at the battle of Manzikert, the frontiers were collapsing, and enemies on every side threatened to overwhelm what was left. It would take an extraordinary ruler to salvage something from the wreckage much less restore Byzantine prestige. Join Lars Brownworth as he takes a look at Alexius Comnenus, the man who did just that, even as the First Crusade erupted around him.

The Alexiad, written by Anna Komnena (between 1143-1153), daughter of the Byzantine emperor Alexios Komnenos (1081-1118), is one of the all time greats of historical writing. This extract deals with the confusing geopolitical situation of the 1080s following the Byzantine defeat to the Seljuk Turks at Manzikert in 1071 and the ensuing chaotic civil war that tore Anatolia apart, eventually seeing widespread Turkish infiltration into the empire .

When the 24 year old Alexius Comnenus came to the throne, the glories of the Empire seemed long gone. Its "invincible" army had been smashed at the battle of Manzikert, the frontiers were collapsing, and enemies on every side threatened to overwhelm what was left. It would take an extraordinary ruler to salvage something from the wreckage much less restore Byzantine prestige. Join Lars Brownworth as he takes a look at Alexius Comnenus, the man who did just that, even as the First Crusade erupted around him.

This is an extract from the history of the English by Henry of Huntingdon, which mentions the Byzantine's involvement in the Second Crusade. Not only is this interesting as a narrative of the Second Crusade from a man of the time but also how a man from England was anble to keep an idea of the events that were going on around him and how he explained them.

A second Diocletian, it was Alexios I Komnenos that saved the empire from destruction from the Normans then the Pechenegs and then the Turks. He successfully handled the First Crusade and established a dynasty that would define the next century. He was one of the finest Eastern Roman Emperors.

In this video, I trace the evolution of the Byzantine Empire from the accession of Alexius I Comnenus in 1081 to the events of the Fourth Crusade from 1202-1204.
This video is almost identical to an earlier version that I uploaded four days before with the difference that I corrected my account of the Battle of Myriokephalon in 1176. Thank you to the user "Slick Willy" who pointed out the errors in my account of the battle.

Komnenos
Komnenos or Comnenus (Greek: Κομνηνός), plural Komnenoi or Comneni (Κομνηνοί, pronounced /komniní/), is the name of a ruling family of the Eastern Roman or Byzantine Empire and Greek noble family, who ruled the Byzantine state from 1081 to 1185, and later, as the Grand Komnenoi (Μεγαλοκομνηνοί, Megalokomnenoi) founded and ruled the Empire of Trebizond (1204–1461).
Origins
Michael Psellos reports that the family originated from the village of Komne in Thrace—usually identified with the "Fields of Komnene" (Κομνηνῆς λειμῶνας) mentioned in the 14th century by John Kantakouzenos—a view commonly accepted by modern scholarship. The first known member of the family, Manuel Erotikos Komnenos, acquired extensive estates at Kastamon in Paphlagonia, which became the stronghold of the family in the 11th century. The family thereby quickly became associated with the powerful and prestigious military aristocracy (dynatoi) of Asia Minor, so that despite its Thracian origins it came to be considered "eastern".

Come-On Eyes
by: PanteraLove at first sight
I caught a glimpse
And I thought I'd try
To win her love
For my very own
She's the kind
That'll move on a dare
She loves a thrill
She'll take it anywhere
But when you need her
She won't be there
Won't be there
She's never there
She's got come-on eyes
Happens every time
Never givin' her love
Only givin' you lies
She'll put you thru hell
No matter how hard you try
She's got come-on eyes
I can't win
She drives me insane
Broken heart is
The name of her game
Down on my knees
Beggin' to please
Needin' her love
All alone
Out on the street
She was layin' me out
Knocked me off my feet
She's always on my mind
It's what I'm thinkin' of
She's got come-on eyes
Happens every time
Never givin' her love
Only givin' you lies
She'll put you thru hell
No matter how hard you try
She's got come-on eyes
