Basil Boioannes Basil III , called Boioannes ( Βασίλειος Βοϊωάννης ) in Greek and Bugiano in Italian , was the Byzantine catapan of Italy ( 1017 - 1027 ) and one of the greatest Byzantine generals of his time . His accomplishments enabled the Empire to reestablish itself as a major force in southern Italy after centuries of decline . Yet , the Norman adventurers introduced into the power structure of the Mezzogiorno would be the eventual beneficiaries . Life . Upon his appointment by Emperor Basil II in December 1017 , he immediately requested reinforcements from Constantinople to fight the insurgency of the Lombard general Melus of Bari and his Norman soldiery . The request was granted : a detachment of the elite Varangian Guard was sent . The two forces met on the river Ofanto near Cannae , the site of Hannibal ' s victory over the Romans in 216 BC . In the second Battle of Cannae , Boioannes achieved an equally decisive victory . Boioannes protected his gains by immediately building a great fortress at the Apennine pass guarding the entrance to the Apulian plain . Troia , named after the ancient city of Asia Minor , was garrisoned by Boioannes ' own contingent of Norman troops in 1019 . Soon , all the Mezzogiorno had submitted to Byzantine authority , with the exception of the Duchy of Benevento , which remained faithful to the Papacy . Frightened by the shift in momentum in the south , Pope Benedict VIII went north in 1020 to Bamberg to confer with the Holy Roman Emperor , Henry II . The Emperor took no immediate action , but events of the next year convinced him to intervene . Boioannes and his new ally Prince Pandulf IV of Capua marched on Melus ' brother - in - law Dattus and captured his tower on the Garigliano . On 15 June , Dattus was tied up in a sack with a monkey , a rooster , and a snake and thrown into the sea . The next year , in response , a huge imperial army marched south to attack the new fortress of Troia . The garrison held out and never fell . Boioannes granted the town privileges for its loyalty . In 1025 , Boioannes was preparing to lead a Sicilian expedition with Basil II when the great emperor died . Constantine VIII , his co - ruler and successor , cancelled the expedition , and the catapan went north to aid Pandulf in retaking Capua , which Henry II had captured three years earlier . Boioannes offered the new prince of Capua , Pandulf of Teano , safe passage to Naples and accepted his surrender in May 1026 . This was to be his last major campaign . In 1027 , he was recalled . His replacements hardly lived up to the standard of military effectiveness he set . During the next century , Byzantine influence in Italy steadily declined to nil . In 1041 , Boioannes ' son Exaugustus was named catapan , but he did not last a year in that post .
