The struggle for the Nicaean throne ends …

Years: 1224 - 1224

The struggle for the Nicaean throne ends with the Battle of Poimanenon, fought in the winter of 1223/1224, in which John’s opponents, the two Lascaris brothers, are defeated and blinded in spite of the support they had acquired from the Latin Empire of Constantinople.

This victory opens the way for the recovery of most of the Latin possessions in Asia.
