John II Comnenus continued the Byzantine recovery begun by his father, Alexios I. He defeated the Pechenegs at Beroia in 1122, campaigned against Turkish powers in Anatolia, and recovered Cilicia, compelling the crusader prince of Antioch to acknowledge Byzantine overlordship. His reign strengthened imperial authority through sustained campaigning and diplomacy. He died following a hunting accident in 1143, leaving the throne to his son Manuel I.
