Isaac Comnenus began as a noble youth trained in the monastery, palace arts, and military exercises. His piety and loyalty earned him the supereminent dignity of Sebastocrator, placed above the Caesar but below the emperor. As brother to Alexius I, he received this unprecedented honor as reward for his service and devotion to the imperial family.
