Yes, Don Alfonso should have had him in the Royal Castle as much as he could.

That debate should self-die in CK as you play as the house of Ducas and Adronicos Ducas was the traitor at Manzikert.
This however raises another issue. Who wants to play as the traitors Ducas? Maybe Paradox should consider the possibility of starting BYZ CK with another dynasty...?
If not then a mistake not to repeat in CK could be to send Andronicos to a monastery at the age of 7!

Alp Arslan's generous offer was accepted. The problem was that Romanus IV Diogenes was murdered and the deal repudiated. The problem for Byzantium was that this gesture was an act of futile bravado as both the Tagmatas and the armies of the Themes were utterly disorganised after the battle and the Seljuks were able to fan out on to the Anatolian plains.

Sorry I wasn`t clear enough in my first post. I rather meant the `first offer` Alp Arslan made, -before- the battle of Manzikert. The Turkish armies were en route to Damascus when the Byzantine forces entered Armenia. Alp Arslan demanded peace but his offer was rejected.

Yes, one of the great blunders of history.
But in the other thread dealing with the battle some believe otherwise.
