text:
Ioannes Kegen was a Pecheneg military commander who served under khan Tyrach in 1048, whose quarrel led to the Pecheneg revolt of 1048-1053. Kegen and his followers took refuge in Paristrion and appealed to Byzantine emperor Constantine IX Monomachos for help. His appeal was warmly accepted, resulting in him being named patrician, converting to Christianity and his tribe getting recognized as foederati. Kegen was to protect a sector of the empire from invasion, but continued to harass Tyrach. Ty
