This fruitful alliance led to the consolidation of the Comnenian dynasty in a context of great political instability. During the 12th century, however, Alexis I’s heirs—John II (1118-1143) and Manuel I (1143-1180)—begun to face serious challenges from the members of the patriarchal administration. Throughout this article we will focus on the reign of Manuel I with the aim of reaching a better understanding of the internal situation of the church and of the way in which its relationship with the imperial power influenced the political crisis of the late 12th century.  La reestructuración política del Imperio desarrollada por Alexis I Comneno (1081- 1118) se fundó sobre una alianza estratégica entre el poder imperial –que necesitaba consolidar su autoridad frente a las reivindicaciones de la aristocracia laica y de los obispos del sínodo peramente– y la administración patriarcal –que aspiraba a ganar preeminencia dentro de la estructura de la Iglesia. Las consecuencias de la esa alianza fueron fructíferas en diversos sentidos y permitieron la consolidación de la dinastía Comneno en un contexto de gran instabilidad política. A lo largo del siglo XII, sin embargo, los herederos de Alexis I –Juan II (1118-1143) y Manuel I (1143-1180)– comenzaron a experimentar crecientes dificultades en su relación con los representantes de la administración patriarcal. A lo largo de este trabajo nos detendremos a analizar el período de reinado de Manuel I con el objetivo de establecer cuál era la situación interna de la Iglesia y de qué manera su relación con el poder imperial influyó en la crisis política propia de fines del siglo XII.  application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/analesHAMM/article/view/6425 10.34096/ahamm.v52.6425 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/analesHAMM/article/view/6425/5670 Anales de Historia Antigua, Medieval y Moderna; Vol. 52 (2018); 91-122 1853-1555 1514-9927 Manuel Comnenus middle byzantine church patriarchal administration synod provincial bishops Manuel Comneno iglesia mesobizantina administración patriarcal Sínodo permanente obispos provinciales Episcopal authority and imperial authority in the middle byzantine period: the case of Manuel Comnenus (1143-1180) Autoridad episcopal y autoridad imperial en el período mesobizantino: el caso de Manuel Comneno (1143-1180) info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=moderna&d=6425_oai
