He once entertained the possibility of becoming an Orthodox monk, but eventually fell in love with the fair and strong-willed HRH Princess Jelena of Serbia, and married her on September 2, 1911, and Jelena took the name HH Princess Elena Petrovna of Russia. They were a very happy couple, blessed on January 20, 1914 with a son, HH Prince Vsevolod Ioannovich, and on July 25, 1915 with a daughter, HH Princess Ekaterina Ioannovna, who was the last member of the Imperial Family to be born before the fall of the dynasty. Prince Ioann fought in the First War War and was decorated as a war hero. When the Revolution started he was at the front and escaped a general massacre of officers because his men said he treated them fairly. In April 1918 he was exiled to the Urals by the Bolsheviks, and later murdered in an atrocious way in a mineshaft near Alapaevsk, along with his brothers HH Prince Konstantin Konstantinovich and HH Prince Igor Konstantinovich, his cousin His Highness Prince Vladimir Pavlovich Paley, and other relatives and friends.
