Ivan Asen III was the son of Mitso Asen of Bulgaria and Maria of Bulgaria, a daughter of Ivan Asen II of Bulgaria and Irene of Thessalonica.He was probably born in about 1259/60, and died in exile in 1303. According to tradition, Ivan Asen II had the text of the broken treaty carried like a standard on a spear, and managed to decisively defeat and capture Theodore in the battle of Klokotnitsa.
The return of Andrew II of Hungary from the Fifth Crusade in 1218 provided an opportunity to establish a marriage alliance and to obtain (probably in 1221) the return of the disputed territories around Belgrade on the Danube as the dowry of Princess Anna Maria of Hungary. The Church of the Holy Forty Martyrs, with its facade decorated with ceramic tiles and murals, commemorated his victory at Klokotnitsa.

His brother and successor, Stefan Vladislav I, married Ivan Asen's daughter, Beloslava. However, the contemporaneous Alberic of Trois-Fontaines recorded that Ivan Asen's successor, Kaliman I Asen, signed a truce on the feast of Saint John the Baptist (24 June), evidencing that Ivan Asen had already been dead. In 1225, the city was captured by the ambitious Greek ruler of Epirus and Thessalonica, Theodore Komnenos Doukas, but after his defeat and capture at the Battle of Klokotnitsa in 1230 it fell to Ivan Asen II of Bulgaria. In January 1221 she married Tsar Ivan Asen II of Bulgaria as his second wife.


King Emeric of Hungary and the Byzantine emperor John III Doukas Vatatzes proved themselves formidable enemies. Ivan Asen II became the first Bulgarian emperor to mint his own non-imitation coinage, and promoted trade and successful taxation policies.

The Cumans crossed the Danube, and this time Tsar Ivan Asen II could not tame them, as he had often been able to do earlier; the only possibility left for him was to let them march through Bulgaria in a southerly direction.

The rudimentary administrative apparatus he left behind proved insufficient to cope with the challenges of two successive minorities on the throne, and led to significant territorial losses to Nicaea, Epirus, and Hungary in 1246, not to mention Bulgaria's status as a tributary to the Golden Horde in 1242.
