Alexios I Komnenos

Alexios Komnenos (1106-1142) was the eldest son of Byzantine Emperor John II Komnenos. Alexios reigned as co-emperor with his father from 1122 to 1142. He predeceased his father, and so never reigned in his own right.

The reign of John II Komnenos is not very well documented, and so documentation of Alexios's life is very sparse. During the reign of John II, the Byzantine Empire saw conflict with the Hungarians and the Turks, and shared an uneasy relationship with several Crusader States. Presumably Alexios played some part in these events, but what role is unknown.

Alexios's death is recorded as a sudden fever, although any cause is unknown. He appears to have been married at least once, and perhaps twice, although just who his consort was is lost. He did have a daughter.

Like all those who lived and died on Earth, Alexios Komnenos was resurrected on Riverworld. He soon reconnected with his younger brother, Isaac, and founded New Constantinople.
