	Comnenus - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The Comnenus or Komnenos family was an important dynasty in the history of the Byzantine Empire.
		The Comnenus dynasty of Byzantine emperors was founded by Isaac I Comnenus, a Stratopedarch of the East under Michael VI.

	Manuel I Comnenus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was the fourth son of John II Comnenus and Piroska, daughter of King Ladislaus I of Hungary.
		Overall, accounts of the reign of Manuel Comnenus have tended to pay only limited attention to the expedition against Egypt, due to the failure of the project and the importance of other issues such as the rise of the Republic of Venice and the Seljuk Turks.
		His pro-western policy caused much resentment in the Empire and backfired in the reaction led by Andronicus I Comnenus whose arrival was celebrated by a massacre of the Latins in Constantinople.

	Alexius II Comnenus
		Alexius II (Comnenus) (1167-1183), Byzantine emperor, was the son of emperor Manuel I Comnenus and Maria, daughter of Raymund, prince of Antioch, and was born at Constantinople on the 10th of September 1167.
		On Manuel's death, Maria, who had been immured in a convent under the name of Xene, had herself proclaimed regent (1179-1180), and handing over her son to evil counsellors, who encouraged him in every vice, supported the government of Alexius the protosebastos (nephew of Manuel), who was popularly believed to be her lover.
		Their party was defeated (May 2, 1182), but Andronicus Comnenus took advantage of these disorders to aim at the crown, entered Constantinople, where he was received with almost divine honours, and overthrew the regents.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Empire of Trebizond
		When Constantinople fell to the Fourth Crusade in 1204, the Empire of Trebizond was one of the three smaller Greek states that emerged from the wreckage, along with the Empire of Nicaea and the Despotate of Epirus.
		Alexius, a grandson of Byzantine emperor Andronicus I Comnenus and a descendant of King David the Builder of Georgia through his great grandmother Katay (daughter of David the Builder), made Trebizond his capital and asserted a claim to be the legitimate successor of the Byzantine Empire.
		The sources agree that Rusudan, the wife of Manuel and the mother of Alexius and David, fled Constantinople with her children, to escape persecution by Isaac II Angelus, Andronicus' successor.

		This is becoming harder to do, however, as Comnenus has become increasingly ill. Even traveling into the far future (as far as he will dare), Comnenus has found no cure, and his physicians guess that he has no more than a few months of real time left.
		The only weapon Comnenus ever keeps near him is a long sword of blue Damascus-like steel with an ODF of +2, due to the enchantments of a long forgotten smith.
		Even when bed-ridden, Comnenus still keeps an eye on the flow of Time, and sends out agents to keep an eye on historically critical periods that he suspects the enemies of history may be trying to alter.
