The '''House of Komnenos''' ({{small|[[Plural|pl.]]}} '''Komnenoi'''; {{langx|grc|Κομνηνός}}, {{small|pl.}} {{lang|grc|Κομνηνοί}}, {{IPA|el|komniˈni|pron}}), [[Latinization of names|Latinized]] as '''Comnenus''' ({{small|pl.}} '''Comneni'''), was a [[Byzantine Greeks|Byzantine Greek]] [[Byzantine bureaucracy and aristocracy|noble]] family who ruled the [[Byzantine Empire]] in the 11th and 12th centuries. The first reigning member, [[Isaac I Komnenos]], ruled from 1057 to 1059. The family returned to power under [[Alexios I Komnenos]] in 1081 who established [[Byzantine Empire under the Komnenos dynasty|their rule]] for the following 104 years until it ended with [[Andronikos I Komnenos]] in 1185. In the 13th century, they founded the [[Empire of Trebizond]], a Byzantine [[rump state]] which they ruled from 1204 to 1461.<ref>{{cite EB1911|wstitle=Comnenus|volume=6|page=793}}</ref> At that time, they were commonly referred to as '''Grand Komnenoi''' ({{lang|grc|Μεγαλοκομνηνοί}}, {{Transliteration|el|Megalokomnenoi}}), a style that was officially adopted and used by [[George, Emperor of Trebizond|George Komnenos]] and his successors. Through intermarriages with other noble families, notably the [[Doukas]], [[Angelos]], and [[Palaiologos]], the Komnenos name appears among most of the major noble houses of the late Byzantine world.
