The seal of Edward the Confessor, d. 1066 — included the Byzantine title basileus, which was intermittently used by the 10th- to 11th-century English kings: https://www.academia.edu/2127281/From_Anglorum_basileus_to_Norman_Saint_The_Transformation_of_Edward_the_Confessor …pic.twitter.com/4IOuAk2o5n
For Joseph of Canterbury's visit to Constantinople in c. 1090 and his encounter with 'men from his own homeland… who were part of the emperor’s household', see this great blog post by @Pseudo_Isidore.pic.twitter.com/RmF2bQszZW

Worth noting that whilst main influx of 'English Varangians' to Constantinople came in the late 11thC, were probably earlier individual Anglo-Saxons there e.g. this Byzantine seal of c.1030/1040 from Winchester, prob from a Varangian's contract of service: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=hqskIWgAaxwC&lpg=PA680&pg=PA680#v=onepage&q&f=false …pic.twitter.com/j2UpFgRJVS

An anecdote concerning a fight between Hardigt, a man sent by the Anglo-Saxon emigrants to the Emperor, and some lions at Constantinople, from the Laon chronicle account of Nova Anglia, see http://www.caitlingreen.org/2018/03/wulfric-of-lincoln-byzantine-ambassador.html …pic.twitter.com/7ymYUuAeTN
Fascinating blog about Wulfric of Lincoln. Wonderful thought of an Anglo-Saxon emigrant returning to the former homeland as an ambassador for the Byzantine Empire. Maybe there will be post-Brexit parallels?
