          Wow! "Leader" of the VarangianGuard,I can buy,but "commander of the naval forces"!?Difficult. Irrelevant: I'm sternly convinced that New England Anglo-Saxon colony,coincides with the "Gothia" community around the city of Kherson. It seems,the English claimed #Balaklava earlier :Ppic.twitter.com/nTbNctK1t4

          Well, for what it's worth, the 'Advices to the Emperor' in Kekaumenos's Strategikon, written late 1070s & then revised up to c. 1100, complains of the emperor favouring 'the foreigner who has come to us from England' and 'making him head of a department of state or general'...!

          Hey, I've got this book. And I've never noticed it. Although, indeed it sounds like this certain Slavic-Armenian «Roman» dignitary,Kekaumenos/Kikhatzi, who couldn't restrain himself from expressing easy accusations, eg against Vlachs, or against the conduct of other nobles.

          There's also a couple of other references that are of interest, listed in the blog post :) It's a fascinating topic, but definitely can be hard to know what to believe! (Some argue that the lion-fighter is a figment , for example!)

          I've found the specific line in Kekaumenos: «Οπόταν γαρ τιμήσης τον εξαγγέλοις εθνικόν ελθόντα πριμικήριον ή στρατηγόν,τι αξίαν έχεις δούναι τω Ρωμαίω στρατηγίαν;» If "εξαγγέλοις" is rendered as "εξ Αγγέλοις"= "from the Angels",a pun for "from Anglia",also used by popeGregory >>pic.twitter.com/Q482Lrh6Jv

          Meaning: «If you honour an expat "from the Angels"(=émigrés from post-1066England)as a primicerius(=any civil dignitary)or a strategus(=military general),what's the worth of giving the generalship to a Roman(=native citizen)?» Once more Kekaumenos proves spiteful,xenophobe,petty
