It seems Isaac Komnenos(1057 - 1059) was a decent/correct basileus.
So what would have happened if despite his illness (what he considered as a divine punishment) he had listened to his brother and his wife Catherine and refused to abdicate in favor of Constantine Doukas on November 22nd,1059 ?
And without male heir, would his daughter Marie have been able of rising on the throne ?
