17,000 Articles from the Encyclopædia Britannica, 11th & 12th eds. John II. (1087/8–1143) [surnamed Comnenus and also Kalojoannes (John the Good)].  East Roman emperor, the eldest son of the East Roman emperor Alexius, whom he succeeded in 1118. On account of his mild and just reign he has been called the Byzantine Marcus Aurelius. By the personal purity of his character he effected a notable improvement in the manners of his age, but he displayed little vigour in internal administration or in extirpating the long-standing corruptions of the government. Nor did his various successes against the Hungarians, Servians and Seljuk Turks, whom he pressed hard in Asia Minor and proposed to expel from Jerusalem, add much to the stability of his empire. He was accidentally killed during a wild-boar hunt on Mt. Taurus, on the 8th of April 1143.
