The Crusades and the First Strikes at Constantinople
Portrait of Alexius Comnenus from a Greeek Manuscript
in the Vatican Library. His reign saw the restoration of
much of the glory and territory the Eastern Roman Empire
possessed during its golden age. His fearless and cunning
leadership deflected the wrath of the first Crusaders, saving
the Greek-East from much destruction, and prolonging its life.
