| ARTICLES RELATED TO Manuel I Comnenus | | | |  Manuel I Comnenus: Encyclopedia II - Sultanate of Rüm - EstablishmentIn the 1070s, Süleyman Ibn Kutalmish, a distant cousin of Malik Shah, the ruler of Great Seljuk, rose to power in western Anatolia. In 1075, Süleyman captured the Byzantine cities of Nicaea (Iznik) and Nicomedia (Izmit). In defiance of Malik Shah, he declared himself sultan in 1077 and established the capital at Nicaea. The Sultanate expanded, but when Süleyman was killed in Antioch (Antakya) in 1086 by Tutush I, the Seljuk ruler of Syria, the dynasty saw a certain end when Süleyman's son Kilij Arslan was imprisoned. When Malik Shah died ...

| | | | | | Manuel I Comnenus: Encyclopedia II - Niš - History The city's early name under the Roman Empire remained Naissus ("city of the nymphs"). Niš is a possible location of Nysa, a mythical place in Greek mythology where the young god Dionysus was raised. Naissus was first mentioned in Roman documents near the beginning of 2nd century CE, and was considered a place worthy of note in the Geography of Ptolemy of Alexandria. The Romans occupied the town in the period of the "Dardanian War" (75-73 BC), and the city developed as a strategic crossroads, garrison and market town in ...

| | | | | | Manuel I Comnenus: Encyclopedia II - Conrad of Montferrat - Conrad and the crusader states However, feeling that his service had been insufficiently rewarded, wary of Byzantine anti-Latin sentiment (his youngest brother Renier had been murdered in 1182) and of possible vengeance-seeking by Branas's family, Conrad fled to the Kingdom of Jerusalem in July 1187. (Some popular modern histories have claimed that he was fleeing vengeance after committing a private murder: this is due to a failure to recognise Branas's name, garbled into "Lyvernas", in the French continuation of William of Tyre, and an error by Roger of Howden, who also ...

| | | | | Manuel I Comnenus: Encyclopedia II - Bohemund III of Antioch - Prince of Antioch In 1164, Bohemund and Raymond III of Tripoli marched out to relieve Harim, under siege from Nur ad-Din, but when Nur ad-Din retreated Bohemund led a charge against him. The ensuing battle was a disaster and both Bohemund and Raymond were taken prisoner. King Amalric I of Jerusalem hastened back from his invasion of Egypt to take control of the regency of Antioch; Bohemund was freed, for a large ransom, in 1165 with the intervention of Amalric and Byzantine emperor Manuel I Comnenus, his nominal overlord; Manuel was also his brother-in-law, a ...

| | | | | | Manuel I Comnenus: Encyclopedia II - Kingdom of Jerusalem - Life in the kingdom The Latin population of the kingdom was always small; although a steady stream of settlers and new crusaders continually arrived, most of those who fought in the First Crusade simply went home. The Latins were little more than a superstrate over the native Muslim and Syrian population. But Jerusalem came to be known as Outremer, the French word for "overseas," and as new generations grew up in the kingdom, they also began to think of themselves as native easterners, rather than immigrants. Thus, in many senses, they behaved and thought more ...

| | | | | Manuel I Comnenus: Encyclopedia II - Byzantine Empire - The age of Justinian I The reign of Justinian I, which began in 527, saw a period of extensive imperial conquests of former Roman territories (indicated in green on the map below). The 6th century also saw the beginning of a long series of conflicts with the Byzantine Empire's traditional early enemies, such as the Sassanid Persians, Slavs and Bulgars. Theological crises, such as the question of Monophysitism, also dominated the empire.
Justinian I had perhaps already exerted effective control during the reign of his predecessor, Justin I (518–527). Justi ...

| | | | | | Manuel I Comnenus: Encyclopedia II - History of Bosnia and Herzegovina - Middle Ages The Slavs, who had originated in areas spanning modern-day southern Poland, were subjugated by the Eurasian Avars in the 5th century, and together they invaded the Eastern Roman Empire in the 6th and 7th centuries, settling in what is now Bosnia, Herzegovina, and the surrounding lands. The Serbs and Croats came later, in the first half of the 7th century as is explained in De Administrando Imperio, settling in the lands parts of Bosnia and surrounding lands. Majority of the Serbs settled in Rascia while the majority of Croats established the ...

| | | | | Manuel I Comnenus: Encyclopedia II - County of Edessa - Foundation In 1098, Baldwin of Boulogne left the main Crusading army, which was travelling south towards Antioch and Jerusalem, and went first south into Cilicia, then east to Edessa. There, he convinced its lord, Thoros, to adopt him as a son and heir. Thoros was a Greek Orthodox, and was disliked by his Armenian Orthodox subjects; he was soon assassinated, although it is unknown if Baldwin had any part in this. In any case, Baldwin became the new ruler, taking the title of Count (having been Count o ...

| | | | | Manuel I Comnenus: Encyclopedia II - Second Crusade - Background After the First Crusade and the minor Crusade of 1101 there were three crusader states established in the east: the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Principality of Antioch, and the County of Edessa. A fourth, the County of Tripoli, was established in 1109. Edessa was the most northerly of these, and also the weakest and least populated; as such, it was subject to frequent attacks from the surrounding Muslim states ruled by the Ortoqids, Danishmends, and Seljuk Turks. Count Baldwin II and future count Joscelin of Courtenay were taken captive after ...

Byzantine aristocracy and bureaucracy - Imperial titles.
Basileus (Βασιλεύς)– the Greek word for "king," which originally referred to any king in the Greek-speaking areas of the Roman Empire, such as Herod in Judea. It also referred to the emperors of Persia. Heraclius adopted it to replace the old Latin title of Augustus (Augoustos) in 629, and it became the Greek word for "emperor." Heraclius also used the titles autokrator (αυτοκράτωρ - "autocrat," " ...

| | | | | Manuel I Comnenus: Encyclopedia II - Byzantine Empire - Identity, continuity, and consciousness "Byzantium may be defined as a multi-ethnic empire that emerged as a Christian empire, soon comprised the Hellenized empire of the East and ended its thousand year history, in 1453, as a Greek Orthodox state: An empire that became a nation, almost by the modern meaning of the word".1
In the centuries following the Arab and Lombard conquests in the 7th century, its multi-ethnic (albeit not multi-national) nature remained even though its constituent parts in the Balkans and Asia Minor contained an overwhelmingly large Greek p ...

In his teens, Conrad served at the court of his maternal uncle, Conrad, Bishop of Passau, later Archbishop of Salzburg.

He otherwise played little role in the crusade, preferring to remain neutral to avoid provoking Saladin. In 1194 Bohemund was captured by Leo II of Armenia. Leo had seized the castle of Bagras, on the northern border of Antioch, which had been captured by Saladin in 1189. Bohemund and the Knights Templar, its original owners, demanded its return.
