After the succession of John II in 1118, Isaac was received at the imperial court almost as an equal to the emperor. By 1130 John and Isaac had become estranged, and Isaac was forced to flee Constantinople, ultimately seeking refuge at the court of the Malik (king) Gümüshtigin Ghazi ibn Danishmend at Melitene, near the Euphrates river. This ruler was, as the overlord of the ascendant Turkic power in Anatolia, the most serious obstacle to John's ambitions in the Anatolian peninsula. There are vague reports that Isaac was plotting for the throne. This conflict within the top tier of the military aristocracy would continue into the reign of Manuel I Comnenus.
