Answer
Nikephoros III was the emperor overthrown by Alexios I to become emperor. Alexios I, a general in the Byzantine army, led a rebellion against Nikephoros III, who was unpopular due to his military failures and economic policies. Alexios's forces entered Constantinople in 1081, and Nikephoros III was forced to abdicate, paving the way for Alexios I to become emperor.
