Years: 1204 - 1204
April
…his brother David, aided by the Georgians and local mercenaries, makes himself master of Pontus and Paphlagonia, including Kastamonou, said to be the ancestral castle of the Komnenoi.
David continues on as the "herald and forerunner" of his brother seizing the cities of Kerasus, Limnia, Samsun, Kotyora, and Amastris.
Without a doubt, his march is aided by his family's popularity in the region and by the news of the fall of Constantinople to the Latins.
