Alexios I Komnenos, Latinized as Alexius I Comnenus (; 1056 – 15 August 1118, though some sources list his date of birth as 1048), was Byzantine emperor from 1081 to 1118. Although he was not the founder of the Komnenian dynasty, it was during his reign that the Komnenos family came to full power. Inheriting a collapsing empire and faced with constant warfare during his reign against both the Seljuq Turks in Asia Minor and the Normans in the western Balkans, Alexios was able to halt the Byzantine decline and begin the military, financial, and territorial recovery known as the Komnenian restoration. His appeals to Western Europe for help against the Turks were also the catalyst that triggered the Crusades.

  • Alexios I Komnenos (1056 - 15 August 1118) ruled over the Byzantine Empire from 1081 to 1118. He was not the first Komnenos to rule, but it was during his reign that the dynasty came to full power. During his reign, Alexios rejuvenated the Empire, vending off attacks from the Seljuqs and the Normans. He also served as the catalyst for the First Crusade. His twilight years saw him lose popularity, and even on his deathbed, various family members were plotting against each other for succession.
