	Roman Emperors DIR Manuel I Comnenus
		While war was being waged against both the Sicilians and the Hungarians, Manuel dispatched his cousin Andronicus (son of the elder sebastokrator Isaac) to Cilicia as doux along with the Caesar John Roger (1152), the latter of whom the emperor proposed to marry to the widowed Constance of Antioch.
		Ignoring the emperor's injunction not to fight on St Procopius' day (8 July, 1167), Andronicus and his army, thanks to the effectiveness of the mace against Hungarian armour, had a resounding victory, the most spectacular of the reign, so total that the Hungarians were not to be a problem again in the reign of Manuel.
		In terms of volume of contemporary material, Manuel is the most eulogised of all Byzantine emperors, and the panegyric addressed to him supplements the two major Byzantine historians of the reign, the more critical Nicetas Choniates and the laudatory John Cinnamus, as primary sources for the student of the period to study.

		The exceedingly beautiful Maria of Antioch, daughter of Raymond of Antioch, was chosen, and the nuptials celebrated at Christmas, 1161.
		The prince of Antioch, Reynald, had raided Cyprus, and he needed an ally against the atabeg of Aleppo, Nur ed-Din, so he now made a ritual submission to Manuel, unshod, head bared and a halter around his neck.
