The main event of his reign was a conflict with the Benevento Duke Romuald II . In 716, Romuald II, taking advantage of the plague epidemic in Campania , captured the fortress in Qomah . Pope Gregory II demanded that Romuald II release Kuma. With the financial support of Pope John I began the war with Benevento in 717, captured the city, and then annexed it to his possessions.
Also in 717, John I contributed to the receipt of the episcopal sergius by I.
