He married Margareth Plantagenet[?], the princess of England on July 8, 1290 in Westminster Abbey, London. Only one child was born out of this marriage, John III of Brabant.
During the reign of Jan II, Brabant continues supporting a coalition to stop French expansion. John, who suffered from kidney stones and wanted his duchy to be peacefully handed over to his son upon his death, in 1312 signed the famous Charter of Kortenberg.
After his death Jan II was buried in the St. Michiel and St. Goedele Cathedral[?] in Brussels.
