However, in 1822 Clement died unmarried in <a href="/wiki/Italy" title="Italy">Italy</a>, and John was now only preceded in the line of succession by his older brother Frederick Augustus. </p><p>When his uncle Anton succeeded his older brother as king (1827), John became the third in line to the throne, and after his father Maximilian renounced his succession rights in 1830, John became in the second in line.

Under his government, came the acceptance of the French Commercial Treaty (1862) and the acknowledgment of a contract with Italy.
