Nicephorus Basilacius was a general of Michael VII who had been sent in 1078 to quell the revolt of Nicephorus Bryennius, duke of Dyrrhachium. Whilst Basilacius was unsuccessful in his attempts to oppose Bryennius, he took possession of Thessalonica where he would soon after proclaim himself emperor. The revolts of the Nicephori would, however, be short lived as Nicephorus III Botaniates took control of Constantinople and sent his general Alexius Comnenus to deal with the rebels. Basilacius was surrendered to Alexius by the citizens of Thessalonica following a short siege of the city. -
