  Background
  Alexios was born the son of Ioannis Komnenos (Emperor Constantine X 1059-1081) and Anna Dalassena and the grandson of Isaac I Komnenos (emperor 1057–1059). The Komnenos --Doukas family held ancient land and title on the Northern anatolian peninsula of Paphlagonia on the Black Sea and were considered one of the elite military aristocracy.
  Contrary to the deliberately corrupted history concerning Alexois and the whole Komnenos -Doukas Dynasty, his uncle Isaac I was not granted lands by Emperor Michael VI (1056-57), but had his lands and title attempted to be taken (along with many other nobles) by the emperor. The nobles proclaimed Isaac I emperor in June 1057 and civil war erupted. Finally, in 1057 Isaac smashed the forces of Michael and advanced on Constantinople. The city was spared a siege and Michael was arrested and imprisoned, dying in 1059.
  However, Isaac himself did not survive long and also died in 1059, succeeded by his son Constantine X (1059-1067) --written as from some "other" noble family from precisely the same town as Isaac I. Again, the historians of the Roman Cult have not spared their fictions on Constantine X who is variously supposed to have ruled on his own, allegedly with a son (Michael VII) and with an extremely rare and improbable emperor called "Romanos IV".
  Constantine X suffered such lack of respect for his memory on account of the fact that it is during his reign the ancestors of the Borja bloodlines-- Robert (Guiscard) and Roger Borja launched their first full assault on Byzantine and Muslim Southern Italy and Sicily in 1061. Within ten years, the Italian lands held by the Byzantine Empire was lost.
  In March 1081, Emperor Constantine X died. The throne then was given to his son Alexois who scarcely had time to sit down before Robert Borja launched an invasion of the Balkan peninsula including Carinthia, Croatia and Serbia, finally being halted at the battle of Dyrrhachium in October 1081 with 20,000 Byzantine soldiers against a massed militia army of 40,000+ of the Borja brothers.
  Somehow, this victory of the Byzantines against the militia forces of the Borja was transformed into a terrible defeat with claims almost half his army deserted. If this were even remotely true, the Borja would have conquered Constantinople in 1081.
  In 1082. the fortress city of Dyrrhachium finally fell. However, the forces of Byzantine Emperor Alexois were given a brief reprieve when Robert and his militia were urgently called back by AntiPope Gregory VII to defend Roman against Henry IV.
  The Borja militia were no match for the disciplined German units who demolished his forces. Robert (Guiscard) Borja himself was captured and killed in 1085 and the Byzantines were able to regain not only all the land lost to the pagan miltia of the Borja but increases their reach to the Balkan states.
  This victory was not celebrated long as AntiPope Urban II under the disguise of "Peter the Hermit" amassed an army of some hundreds of thousands that descended towards the Byzantine empire, retaking the Balkans by 1094, Greece 1095 and finally Constantinople itself fell in 1096.
  It is claimed that Alexois somehow managed to survive the destruction of Constantinople in 1096. However, there is no evidence of the truth of this.
