Which group was instrumental in the downfall of Andronikos I Komnenos?

  • The Turkish tribes

  • The Angelos family

  • The Normans

  • The Venetians

Answer

The Angelos family was instrumental in the downfall of Andronikos I Komnenos. They were a Byzantine noble family who had held high positions in the government for centuries. When Andronikos came to power, he alienated the Angelos family by appointing his own supporters to high positions. This led to the Angelos family plotting against Andronikos, and eventually leading to his downfall.
