In our final episode on the trilogy of John of Brienne, follow his journey after the disappointing 5th Crusade, from the minor rivalry that grew into a war between Kings, Popes, and Emperors. We see how viciously Frederick treated his father-in-law and the treatment he bestowed upon the Princess of Jerusalem. However, the final battle in John of Brienne's magnificent life was not against his nemesis, Emperor Frederick II. Instead, his ultimate test came at the end of his life, when he defended Constantinople against a mighty coalition of Bulgarians and Nicaeans... facing off against Ivan Asen II, and John Vatatzes II. This war would be known as The War of Three Johns.
