Mabrica

Mabrica

Mabrica or Mabrikias was the second-last Catepan of Italy from 1067 to 1069. He was sent by Constantine X Ducas at the request of the Archbishop of Bari in 1066 and arrived in Bari the next year with an army of Varangian auxiliaries.

He retook Brindisi and Taranto and established a garrison at the former under Nikephoros Karantenos, an experienced Byzantine soldier from the wars with the Bulgars. He experienced a series of successes against the Normans in the last brief period of brilliance exhibited by Byzantine forces in Italy.
