Life

John was the third son of the emperor Andronikos II. Palaiologos , the eldest of his second wife Irene Komnene Dukaina (Yolande von Montferrat) . His older half-brothers were Michael IX. and Constantine , he also had two younger brothers ( Theodoros , Demetrios ); his younger sister Simonis was the future fifth wife of the Serbian king Stefan Milutin . On the occasion of the coronation of his half-brother Michael IX. to co-emperor John was on May 22, 1294, or 1295 of Andronikos II. to the rank of despot charged. Since 1303 he was married to Irene Palaiologina Chumnaina , the daughter of Mesazon Nikephoros Chumnos ; the marriage remained childless.

From 1304 John was governor of Thessaloniki , where he donated houses to the Hodegetria monastery. When the last Margrave of Montferrat from the house of the Aleramides , his uncle John I , died childless in 1305 , Johannes was initially chosen by his mother as his successor. On the other hand, Patriarch Athanasios I related himself , so that instead Johannes' younger brother Theodoros took over the family inheritance in Piedmont .

John Palaiologos died in Thessaloniki in 1307; his widow entered a monastery as a nun Eulogia . When the civil war broke out in 1321, his remains were transferred to Constantinople and buried in the Pantocrator monastery. The poet Manuel Philes wrote a grave poem on his death.
