▲In 1229, John was invited by the barons of the Latin Empire of Constantinople to become emperor-regent, on condition that [[Baldwin II of Constantinople|Baldwin of Courtenay]] should marry his second daughter and succeed him. For nine years he ruled in Constantinople, and in 1235, with a few troops, he repelled a great siege of the city by [[John III Doukas Vatatzes]], [[Empire of Nicaea|emperor of Nicaea]], and [[Ivan Asen II of Bulgaria]], killing around 10,000 of the enemy single-handedly at the age of eighty.<ref name="Gibbons' History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire">http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Hy8OAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA1082&lpg=PA1082&dq=john+of+brienne&source=bl&ots=PGjGUrYq-o&sig=pARWMRCkq8QdiMzEZTRPN6K_jNI&hl=en&ei=l_nZS6PwFpGUOL-XuAg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CAUQ6AEwADgK#v=onepage&q=john%20of%20brienne&f=false</ref>
After this last feat of arms, which has perhaps been exaggerated by the Latin chroniclers, who compare him to [[Hector]], Roland and the [[Maccabees]], John died in the habit of a [[Franciscan]] [[friar]]. An aged [[paladin]], he was around 80 years old, somewhat uxorious and always penniless, he was a typical [[knight errant]], whose wanderings led him all over Europe, and planted him successively on the thrones of Jerusalem and Constantinople.
