Quote:Alexios I is one of my heroes - turned the tide of decline in the Empire and issued in a new age of (albeit diminished) glory and success.
But I don't know about any Alanian wife. Didn't Alexios marry a Dukas?
Pretty much so, Irene Doukena
Wikipedia has a very thorough article on Alexios: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexius_I_ ... I_Comnenus

Honor to those who in the life they lead
define and guard a Thermopylae.
Never betraying what is right,
consistent and just in all they do
but showing pity also, and compassion
