John (III) Vatatzes (1193–1254)

Byzantine Emperor from 1222. Under his rule the Empire of Nicea prospered and expanded, although his initial reconquest of Thrace was thwarted in 1225 by Theodore Angelus, emperor of Epirus, the rival successor state to the Byzantine Empire. However, after the latter's defeat by the Bulgarians in 1230, he once again entered Europe, and took Thessalonica in 1246.
