Installed at Heraclea Pontica, Michael Maurix was no doubt acting in his capacity as duke of Boukellarios when he received Alexis Comnenus, sent by Michael VII to arrest the Frankish leader Roussel de Bailleul who had revolted against the emperor. He had previously served as strategos of Chios and duke of Dyrrachion.
