Ottoman Turks.
Explanation: By the mid-11th century the greatest external danger to Byzantium came from Muslim Turkic groups (the Seljuk Turks) pressing into Anatolia — the threat that culminated in Manzikert (1071). (Technically the Ottoman state did not exist until centuries later, but "Turks" are the intended answer.)
