	Alexius I Comnenus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alexius and Maria lived almost openly together at the Palace of Mangana, and Alexius had Michael VII and Maria's young son, the prince Constantine Ducas, adopted and proclaimed heir to the throne.
		Alexius' involvement with Maria continued and shortly after his daughter Anna Comnena was born, she was betrothed to Constantine Ducas and moved to live at the Mangana Palace with him and Maria.
		The situation however changed drastically when John II Comnenus was born: Anna's engagement to Constantine was dissolved, she was moved to the main Palace to live with her mother and grandmother, Constantine's status as heir was terminated and Alexius became estranged with Maria, now stripped of her imperial title.

		The Comnenus dynasty was very much involved in crusader affairs, and also intermarried with the royal families of the Principality of Antioch and the Kingdom of Jerusalem - Theodora, niece of Manuel I Comnenus, married Baldwin III of Jerusalem, and Maria, grand-niece of Manuel, married Amalric I of Jerusalem.
		Remarkably, despite the general tendency for Byzantine emperors to be overthrown after a few years, Alexius ruled for 37, and his son John II ruled for 25, after uncovering a conspiracy against him by his sister, the chronicler Anna Comnena, and her husband Nicephorus Bryennius.
		Thereafter the Comnenus dynasty fell into conspiracies and plots like many of their ancestors; Alexius II ruled for three years and his successor Andronicus I ruled for two, overthrown by the Angelus family under Isaac I. The Angeli were overthrown during the Fourth Crusade in 1204, by a relative from the Ducas family.

		Alexius I (1048–August 15, 1118), Byzantine emperor (1081–1118), was the third son of John Comnenus, the nephew of Isaac I Comnenus (emperor 1057–1059).
		By that time Alexius was the lover of the Empress, an Alan princess from the Caucasus who was successively married to Michael VII Ducas and his successor Botaniates, and was renowned for her beauty.
		Alexius was for many years under the strong influence of an eminence grise, his mother, a wise and immensely able politician whom, in a uniquely irregular fashion, he had crowned as Empress Augusta instead of the rightful claimant to the title, his wife Irene.
