Emperor John Komnenos must deal with the Crusader States in the East. The Latins have betrayed the Greeks almost every day, despite being fellow Christians... they took the land that belonged to the Roman Empire and governed over it as if it were their own.

Emperor John II used this time to move his armies East and take back the lands of Eastern Anatolia from the Danishman Turks, as well as the Prince of Antioch.
