Archontopouloi
The ''archontopouloi'' () were an elite military formation of the Byzantine army during the Komnenian era, in the 11th-12th centuries. They were founded by Emperor Alexios I Komnenos (r. 1081–1118) as part of his military reforms and were recruited among the orphans of Byzantine officers who were killed in battle.
==History==
During the Seljuq invasion of Byzantine Asia Minor after the Battle of Manzikert (1071), there were increased numbers of orphaned children; this led Emperor Alexios I Komnenos (r. 1081–1118) to initiate rescue efforts.〔.〕 Some of these orphans, drawn from the children of the Byzantine officers who had died in battle, were recruited, armed and trained to form an elite 2,000-strong cavalry unit, known as the ''archontopouloi'', the "sons of the archons (leaders)".〔〔.〕〔.〕 The ''archontopouloi'' are considered to be the only Byzantine orphan care institution directly influenced by ancient Greek policies. Although Alexios's daughter and biographer, Anna Komnene, compared her father's ''archontopouloi'' to a Spartan institution, the better documented Athenian tradition to aid the children of deceased warriors was the probable inspiration for Alexios.〔 The Byzantinist John Birkenmeier sees the ''archontopouloi'' as being primarily a 'palace officer-training corps', and their deployment as a field regiment by Alexios I as an isolated expedient.〔Birkenmeier, p. 158 (footnote)〕
The ''archontopouloi'' as a regiment disappear from Byzantine sources after the death of Alexios in 1118.〔.〕 However, people termed ''archontopouloi'' continue to be recorded later in Byzantine history. The later ''archontopouloi'' appear to have belonged to two perhaps related groups. The first group consists of young aristocrats attached to the Byzantine imperial court who may have had a military function, and the second group consists of a type of provincial "pronoiar", an elite soldier who held an imperial land-grant in return for military service. The latter group were possibly recruited from the former, following their training at the imperial court.〔
