Nikephoros Bryennios the Elder
Nikephoros Bryennios the Elder ((ギリシア語:Νικηφόρος Βρυέννιος ο πρεσβύτερος)), Latinized as Nicephorus Bryennius, was a Byzantine general who tried to establish himself as Emperor in the late eleventh century. His contemporaries considered him the best tactician in the empire.〔Canduci, pg. 276〕
== Early career ==
Nikephoros had steadily risen through the ranks of the military, to the point that he was given an important command by Romanos IV at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071.〔Norwich, pg. 348〕 Commanding the left wing of the Byzantine forces, he was one of the very few generals who performed well at that battle.〔〔Norwich, ''Byzantium: The Decline and Fall'', pg. 3〕
In 1072–1073, he served as ''doux'' of Bulgaria, where he reimposed Byzantine control after a series of uprisings,〔Norwich, pg. 359〕 and was afterwards elevated to the important position of ''doux'' of Dyrrhachium.〔Comnena, Book 1, Ch 4〕 In about 1077 Nikephoros, by now the former governor of Dyrrhachium, became disgusted with Michael VII's treaty with the Seljuk Turks, whereby large swathes of Anatolia were handed over to them,〔Finlay, pg. 55〕 and decided that Michael was ineffective and inept.〔Norwich, pg. 360〕 The weakness of the emperor, the avarice of his chief ministers, and the discovery that Michael's chief minister, Nikephoritzes, had listed him for assassination, encouraged him to make an attempt on the throne.〔
