ALexius Conuenus the successor of Necephorus, as it were a profest enemy to the Latines, more then for the war that hee vnhappily atchieued with Robert Viscardus, being helpt also by the Venctians, hee fought to hinder that memorable voiage of the French-men, whom hee seemed alwaies to sus∣pect [ F] from the beginning, but his purpose not taking effect, he receiued the French-men vpon condition to furnish them with prouision and other neces∣saries, if so bee that they would render to him what thinges soeuer they tooke from the enemy, amongst our captaines he seemed to attribute much to Boa∣mundus the Norman. At length hauing betaken himselfe to peace, he built a house for fatherlesse children to be kept in, and a schoole wherein they might be instructed in learning, giuing the expenses out of his owne reuenewes. Hee was exceedinglie giuen to praier, well ordered in his manners, in the end be∣ing much troubled with a disease, hee died when he had raigned thirty yeares foure months and a halfe, leauing the Empire to his sonne Iohn, his mother at [ G] the first being against it.
