Name Suffix: II, Byzantine Emperor

Keiser av Bysants 1118 - 1143.
Johannes fikk tilnavnet Calo-Johannes, ?den Smukke? Han ble bysantisk keiser etter
sin far 16.08.1118 og kronet i Sofia.
Han var rettskaffen og dyktig regent. Han kjempet med hell på rikets nordgrense mot
petschenger, serbere og magyarer, men var mindre heldig mot venetianerne. Disse tvang ham
til å gi dem tilbake endel handelsprivilegier som Johannes hadde berøvet dem i 1126.
Han vendte seg senere mot seldschukkerne i Lilleasien, hvor han gjorde store
erobringer. Han hadde planer om å trenge inn i Syrien, helt ned til Jerusalem, men døde i
Kilikien under et uhell på jakten.

John II Comnenus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John II Comnenus (September 13, 1087 – April 8, 1143) was Byzantine emperor from 1118 to 1143. Also known as Kaloioannes (John the Beautiful), he was the eldest son of the emperor Alexius and Irene Ducaena.

[edit]
Succession
He succeeded his father in 1118. Nicetas Choniates alone tells of the actions by which John II secured his own succession. Alexius I had favoured John to succeed him over his wife Irene's favourite, Nicephorus Bryennius, who was married to their daughter Anna. Alexius resorted to dissimulation in order to avert Irene's criticism of his choice and her demands that Nicephorus should succeed. As Alexius lay on his deathbed in the monastery of the Mangana (15 August 1118), John, consorting with relatives whom he could trust, among whom was his brother, the sebastokrator Isaac, stole into the monastery and removed the imperial signet ring from his dying father. Then, taking up arms, he rode to the Great Palace, gathering the support of the citizenry who acclaimed him emperor. Irene was taken by surprise and was unable either to persuade her son to desist, or to induce Nicephorus to act against him. Although the palace guard at first refused to admit John without proof of his father's wishes, the mob surrounding the new emperor simply forced entry. Alexius died the following night. John refused to join the funeral procession, in spite of his mother's urging, because his hold on power was so tenuous. However, in the space of a few days, his position was secure.

[edit]
Role
On account of his mild and just reign he has been called the Byzantine Marcus Aurelius. By the personal purity and piety of his character he effected a notable improvement in the manners of his age, and he devoted his reign to restoring the Byzantine Empire to its former extents, before the disaster at Manzikert in 1071. His various successes against the invading Petchenegs, Serbians and Seljuk Turks, whose progress in Asia Minor he reverted, along with his attempts to establish Byzantine suzerainty over the Crusader States in Antioch and Edessa, did much to restore the reputation of his empire. His only serious—but very telling—setbacks were against the Venetians, upon whose naval strength the empire was dependent after the breakdown of the Byzantine fleet in the 11th century. An effort to reduce their extensive privileges within the empire ended with a humiliating return to status quo, many Byzantine ports being plundered in the process. This embarrassment inspired John's successor Manuel to establish a powerful Byzantine fleet not long afterwards. Nevertheless, overall John was a highly competant emperor and his 25 year reign brought the empire many important successes, particularly in Asia Minor. Substantial territories were recovered and the Byzantine position improved enormously under John. He left the empire in a much better state than he had found it, and by the time of his death he had earned near universal respect, even from the Crusaders, for his courage, dedication and piety.

[edit]
John the Beautiful
John was known as Kaloiannis, 'John the Beautiful'. William of Tyre says that he was short and unusually ugly, with eyes, hair and complexion so dark he was known as 'the Moor'. The description Kaloiannis referred not to his body but to his soul. Both his parents had been unusually pious and John surpassed them. Members of his court were expected to restrict their conversation to serious subjects only. The food served at the emperor's table was very frugal and John lectured courtiers who lived in excessive luxury. Despite his austerity, John was loved. His principles were sincerely held and his integrity great. He never condemned anyone to death or mutilation. Charity was dispensed lavishly.

Piroska, or St. Eirene from a mosaic in Hagia Sofia.John married Piroska of Hungary, daughter of King Ladislaus I of Hungary. Their two eldest sons predeceased him, and he passed over the third son, Isaakios, in favor of the youngest, Manuel, who had shown great promise.

[edit]
Death
It was on Mount Taurus in Cilicia, on April 8, 1143 that John was accidentally infected by a poisoned arrow (though there are those that theorize that this was no accident), and when it was apparent that he was going to die, the emperor chose his youngest son Manuel to be his successor over the other remaining son Isaac, citing two main reasons, namely Isaac's irascibility and the courage that Manuel had shown at Neocaesareia.

[edit]
Family
John married Piroska in 1104; the marriage was intended as compensation for the loss of some territories to King Coloman of Hungary. She played little part in government, devoting herself to piety and their large brood of children. Piroska died on August 13, 1134 and was later venerated as Saint Eirene. John and Piroska had eight children:

Alexius Comnenus, co-emperor, died 1142
Maria Comnena, twin to Alexius, married Ioannes Dalassenos Rogerios
Andronikos Comnenus (died 1142)
Isaakios Comnenus (died 1154)
Manuel I Comnenus (died 1180)
Anna Comnena, married Stephanos Kontostephanos
Theodora Comnena, married Manuel Anemas
Eudokia Comnena, married Theodoros Vatazes

He was given his fathers ring and his blessing, and unbeknownst to his scheming mother, bade his ailing father goodbye, gathered his supporters and galloped with them to Saint Sophia, where he was crowned by the Patriarch. After the ceremony, he went to the Sacred Palace, where he was admitted on presentation of the ring.
He was short and homely, with very dark eyes, beard and complexion.He was mild, ascetic, devout, contientious, courageous, a gifted statesman and general.
His mother and sister plotted his downfall and tried to assassinate him, but the coup failed, and they retired to a convent.
In 1137, he laid seige to Antioch in an effort to enforce the treaty of 1108. Raymund of Piotiers, Prince of Antioch, acknowledged him suzerain, but then thru sloth and treachery, forced him to go back to New Rome, which he reached in Jan. of 1141.
While hunting wild boar, he was scratched by a poison arrow, and he then proclaimed his son Manuel his successor and died.

Byzantine Emperor 1118-1143. reign was characterized by unremitting attempts to reconquer all important Byzantine territory lost to the Arabs, Turks, and Christian crusaders. A son of Emperor Alexius I Comnenus and Irene Ducas, John kept an austere court and spent most of his reign with his troops. He sought to strengthen Byzantine finances by ending Venetian trading privileges in the empire, but was forced to restore them after an unsuccessful war in 1122. He thwarted Pecheneg, Hungarian, and Serbian threats during the 1120s, and in 1130 allied himself with the German emperor Lothair II (III) against the Norman king Roger II of Sicily. In the later part of his reign John focused his activities on the East. In 1135 he defeated the Danismend emirate of Melitene. Two years later he reconquered all of Cilicia from the kingdom of Lower Armenia and later forced Raymond of Poitiers, prince of Antioch, to recognize Byzantine suzerainty. Though John and Raymond formed an alliance against the Turkish Atabegs of Syria, their campaigns were not particularly successful. In 1143 John returned to press his claims to Antioch. He died following a hunting accident after naming his fourth son, Manuel I, to succeed him. John II Comnenus. Encyclopædia Britannica.
