 Nikephoros supported the revolt of Nikephoros III Botaneiates against Michael VII, but his son, George Palaiologos, married Anna Doukaina of the Doukai and thus supported the Doukai and later Alexios I Komnenos, Anna's brother-in-law, against Botaneiates.George served as the "doux" of Dyrrhachium in the reign of Alexios I and was accorded the title of "kouropalates".In the 12th century, the Palaiologoi are mainly recorded as members of the military aristocracy, not occupying any administrative political offices.
