	Isaac I Comnenus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the disturbed reigns of Basil's seven immediate successors, Isaac by his prudent conduct won the confidence of the army; in 1057 he joined with the nobles of the capital in a conspiracy against Michael VI, and after the latter's deposition was invested with the crown, thus founding the new dynasty of the Comneni.
		He revoked numerous pensions and grants conferred by his predecessors upon idle courtiers, and, meeting the reproach of sacrilege by the patriarch of Constantinople by a decree of exile, resumed a proportion of the revenues of the wealthy monasteries.
		Isaac's great aim was to restore the former strict organization of the government, and his reforms, though unpopular with the aristocracy and the clergy, and not understood by the people, certainly contributed to stave off for a while the final ruin of the Byzantine Empire.

	The Crusades [encyclopedia] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Richard (son of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II) was a very talented soldier, and captured Cyprus en route for Acre while rescuing his fiancée, Berengaria of Navarre (nd), and sister, Joan (nd), from Prince Isaac Comnenus.
		The aim was to restore Isaac II Angelus (?--1204) in place of his usurping brother, Alexius III Angelus (?--1211), but the Venetians had long-held, highly acrimonious relations with Greece over Byzantine trade, so their motives were mixed.
		Following a campaign which saw the capture of Zara, Trieste, the Albanian coast, and the Ionian Is, Isaac was restored to the throne of Constantinople in 1203 alongside his son, Alexius IV Angelus (?--1204).

		In addition to the tension between herself, remaining a Queen in status, and Tancred of Sicily, peace with Tancred was sealed by another betrothal - Tancred's daughter was engaged to Joanna's nephew Arthur - in direct opposition to her aunt Constance.
		Travelling on the Third Crusade, her brother then conquered Cyprus from her brother-in-law, Isaac Comnenus, and her Cypriot niece was caused to travel in Joanna's company until a safe marriage could be made.
		Then Joanna was placed in opposition not only to her cousins, the Queens of Jerusalem, but against all of Christendom when Richard proposed to marry her to the brother of the Moslem Emperor Saladin in order to conclude the Crusade.
