Heresson nice avatar, which King of Byzantium is it?

BTW in Greek Edessa is pronounced Ethessa (th as in then)

[Heresson]

It is Alexios Komnenos (I guess at the start of his reign when He was 19 or so didn't have to shave yet -which suprises me very much- until his beard grew up to a monsterous size I could see in another images...).
He is said to be one of the best, but I personally think that
chrysobulla for Venetians was a mistake that costed the empire a life, so all the other things that He did right are in shadow of this one thing. Still, I have some sentiment for him... (vide Komnenai scenario)

Ethessa...
I think I heard the city was named after some city in Greece, but does it have any meaning, the name "Ethessa", I mean?

There's a city called Ethessa in Greece but I don't know if it means something... could have a distinctive meaning though considering most of the names and words usually do around here but I don't know it.

What do you think when you hear Bonheiden or Rijmenam?
