Their daughter Theodora married into the Angelus family; Theodora's grandsons were the emperors Isaac II Angelus and Alexius III Angelus.
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.
