This monograph examines the reign of Alexios I (1081-1118) and his era in the Alexiad, the major work of his daughter Anna Comnena (1083-1153/1154), which served as a kind of political testament to her nephew, Emperor Manuel I Comnenus, and, at the same time, as an oppositional manifesto directed against his pro-Latin policies.

The monograph raises the question of the possible Mongol origins of the Great Seljuk dynasty. It also examines in detail the fragments of the Alexiad devoted to the phenomenon of Byzantine imposture, which was adopted by Russian political culture and manifested itself during the Time of Troubles.

The book examines the state of the Byzantine Empire army and the Norman detachments described by Anna. It concludes that the Byzantine military aristocracy became Latinized during the reign of Emperor Alexios I Comnenus.

Recommended for teachers and students of theological and secular universities, as well as for anyone interested in the history of Byzantium.
