April 1097 CE

Bryennios marries Alexios's daughter Anna in 1097.

This time, Emperor Alexios is more prepared for the crusaders; there had been fewer incidents of violence along the way.

The motives of those who have taken the cross as crusaders ranges from religious enthusiasm to a mere spirit of adventure or a hope of gain; and it is no comfort to Alexios to learn that four of the eight leaders of the First Crusade are Normans, among them Bohemond, the son of Robert Guiscard.

Now forty years old, Bohemond is determined to come to profitable terms with his former enemy.

He arrives with his force, the second army to appear, at Constantinople on April 9, 1097.
