A fascinating epic poem Ivor, written with great style - befitting the sweep and majesty of the subject: the efforts to maintain that relic state that lasted for 200 years or so. I don't know the details, but I'm assuming this refers to the early period when there was still some prospect of survival, at or after the reign of the brothers Alexios and David. It all got rather messy by about 1350AD if memory serves me correctly. Superb read, and superbly written. Great rhythm and rhyme. Real poetry my friend. Best to you, jim
