Komnenians (Premysloides Dynasty)

Historical background
Among imperial oligarchic families, Komnenians had unique history. While Argyrosians had one Emperor in their past, Komnenians had whole dynasty until fall of Andronikos I Komnenos, who was overthrew by Isaac II Angelos. Komnenians helped with restoration of Empire after chaotical years after fall of Macedonian Dynasty. They restored imperial power over parts of Asia Minor, restored imperial treasury, achieved important military victories (especially defeats of Pechenegs and Norman attempts of invasion to Roman Empire) and were able to maintain stable government over Empire since 1081-1185.

When Roman Empire was restored by Romanos, Komnenos stance toward new Emperor and his reign was, in best case, cold or problematic. Komnenos were divided in to various branches with powerful branch rulling in Empire of Trebizond and declaring themselfs as real Roman Emperors. Other branches had various powerbases in Empire (mostly in Epirus and Macedonia), but all of them had common despise toward Isaac II Angelos (who was their far-distant relative) and destruction he caused by overthrowing imperial Komnenos dynasty. Romanos as Emperor, took throne as great-grandson of Isaac II Angelos and so Komnenians were skeptical toward his rule.

Fall of Venice, Emperor personality and his reforms (Imperial Reformation) persuaded European Komnenians to improve their relation with Emperor and accept him as sole and real ruler. Trebizond Komnenians never accepted him, but their fate after Dark Age, is unknown.
