It is not explained how Alexios dealt with his Cuman allies after this victory over Pechenegs
I wonder what Alexios would think that nearly a 1,000 years later his story would be sponsored by Squarespace.
>afraid of doing anything because he's outnumbered
>allowed his capital's outskirts to be raided for 4 years
>only struck after a half of his enemies accepted a bribe to turn on the other half
>slaughtered an unprepared camp with barely any losses
>"proved to be able to rise to the challenge in the hour of need"
Yeah… Not to downplay Alexios's accomplishments, but that last line doesn't really fit into this video.
