Years: 1077 - 1077
Bryennios assembles an army of Thracians, Bulgarians, Macedonians, Sclavonians, Italians, Franks, Uzes (Cumans) and Greeks.
In November 1077, his forces reach the walls of Constantinople.
Unconcerned about the inhabitants of Constantinople, he allows his troops to plunder and burn the city's suburbs.
The conduct of his troops produces so determined an opposition to his claims, that the detested Michael forces him to raise the siege and retreat into Thrace, using the excuse of a Pecheneg incursion into Thrace as cover.
