Notities over Jean COMNEME

Jean II Comnène called Kaloiannis , Jean the Beautiful (September 13rd 1088 - Cilicie, April 8th 1143), wire and successor of Alexis I {{er}} Comnène, Byzantine emperor (1118 - 1143). With died of Alexis, his daughter Anne Comnène tries to put her husband, Nicéphore Bryenne, on the throne with the detriment of Jean with the support of her mother Irene. She fails mainly because of the pusillanimity of Nicéphore. Indeed during the anguish of Alexis to the monastery of Mangana (August 15th 1118) Jean , which was the favorite of his/her father, seizes, with the assistance his/her Alexis brother, of the imperial ring and is made proclaim emperor by crowd while the guard of the palate and Nicéphore Bryenne hesitate. This hesitation is favorable to Jean II which consolidates its position by naming its close relations St its principal supports for the key positions. The main role is entrusted to a friend of childhood, of Turkish origin, Jean Axuch which becomes Grand Servant and ordering army. According to Nicétas Choniatès, it is the latter which manages to reconcile the emperor with his Anne sister. In a general way Jean II is lenient with those which were opposed to him, once its throne strengthened. Once emperor, Jean shows great qualities. He is the prototype of the emperor-soldier , expensive with the dynasty of Comnènes, courageous, daring and of a total integrity. He is often called largest of Comnènes or the Marc-Aurèle of the Lower Empire . But the sources which we have, in particular writings of the historians Jean Cinnamus and Nicétas Choniatès, and those of the poet Theodore Prodomus, miss objectivity and are essentially Panégyrique S which testify to the hope which existed during its reign of a restoration of the Byzantine power. The modern historians consider with more circumspection the effectiveness of the reign of Jean II , in particular the lack of permanence of its results. It eliminates definitively the Petchenègues by a great victory in 1122 and imposes its suzerainty on the Serbia (1124). It manages to contain, by a military campaign in 1128, the Hungarian push towards the Danubian areas. On the other hand, it fails in 1126 to return on the Chrysobulle of 1082 following a show of force of Venice. It is constrained to renew the granted privileges. It then tries to support the tradesmen of Pisa and Genoa in order to fight against the Venetian monopoly. In minor Asia, it seizes in 1137 the Cilicie (or Small-Arménie) and takes again to the Turks part of the Anatolia. It imposes, a time only, one certain suzerainty on the Principauté of Antioche. He dies in Cilicie the April 8th 1143. His/her son Manual Ier, the second of his four sons, succeeds to him the detriment of his Isaac older brother.
