In order to bolster the defences of the Kingdom against the growing strength of the Muslims, Baldwin III made the first direct alliance with the Byzantine Empire in the history of the kingdom, marrying Theodora Comnena, a niece of emperor Manuel I Comnenus; Manuel also married Baldwin's cousin Maria.
As crusade historian William of Tyre put it, the hope was that Manuel would be able "to relieve from his own abundance the distress under which our realm was suffering and to change our poverty into superabundance".
The Egyptian campaigns were supported by Emperor Manuel, and Amalric married a great-niece of the emperor, Maria Comnena.

 Comnenus
Alexius and Irene's youngest daughter Theodora made the future success of the Angelus family by marrying into it: Theodora's grandsons were the emperors Isaac II Angelus and Alexius III Angelus.
The Comnenus dynasty was very much involved in crusader affairs, and also intermarried with the reigning families of the Principality of Antioch and the Kingdom of Jerusalem - Theodora Comnena, 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.

 The Emperor Manuel's Daughter Reflects Back Over the Year (Part 1) (December 1180)
Manuel was desperate to have a son who could succeed him, and of course he hoped that his young and nubile Latin bride would give him one.
But then chance conspired to place Theodora Comnena, Andronicus’s cousin, long-time mistress, and the mother of two of his children into the power of Nicephorus Palaeologus, Manuel’s Governor in the Pontus.
He adamantly refused to countenance any resumption of Andronicus’s incestuous relations with his cousin Theodora, whom he decreed must live out the balance of her life in a monastery.
