     "Almos was the son of Geisa I, king of Hungary, and his second wife, Synadene. He held several government posts in the kingdom of Hungary. Between 1084 and 1091 he was the duke of Slavonia, appointed by his uncle Laszlo, king of Hungary; between 1091 and 1095 he was named King of Slavonia (eastern Croatia). In 1095 the new king of Hungary, Almos' elder brother Kálmán, dethroned Almos and made him duke of the appanage Nitrian duchy (Tercia pars regni) instead.
     "Almos, supported by Germany and Bohemia, came in conflict with Kálmán in 1098, after Kálmán had declared himself the king of the whole of Croatia in 1097 (crowned in 1102). On 21 August 1104 Almos married Predslava of Kiev, the daughter of Svjatopolk II, grand duke of Kiev. Of their three children, Béla and Adelheid would have progeny. Almos made several attempts to take over Kálmán's throne, but all were unsuccessful. After repeatedly forgiving his wayward brother, Kálmán was finally forced to bring justice against him in 1115, although even then he commuted the familial death sentence required by law to the sentence of blinding Almos and his young son Béla, in the expectation that neither of them could then succeed him.
     "Almos, who died in 1129, was the last duke of Nitra (in Hungarian Nyitra); his removal also marks the end of the Nitrian frontier duchy and thus a full integration of the complete territory of today's Slovakia into Hungary. After the death of Kálmán's son and successor Stephan II in 1131 without male progeny, he was succeeded by Almos' son Béla."⁴ Álmos (?) Prince of Hungary, Duke of Croatia was also known as Almus Prince of Hungary.³

     DEATH     13 Feb 1141 (aged 32–33)
     Béla II the Blind was King of Hungary and Croatia. Béla was the only son of Duke Álmos, the younger brother of King Coloman of Hungary. His mother was Predslava of Kiev. Duke Álmos led several rebellions against his brother, but finally, he and Béla were blinded in 1113. Father and son were living together in the Premonstratensian Monastery of Dömös till 1126, when Duke Álmos tried to organise a conspiracy against King Stephen II, King Coloman's son and heir, but he failed and had to escape to the Byzantine Empire. Following his father's escape, Béla was taken secretly to the Monastery of Pécsvárad by his father's partisans.
     In 1129, after the death of Duke Álmos, King Stephen was informed that his blind cousin was still living in Hungary, and he invited Béla to his court. Upon the king's request, Béla married Helena, a daughter of Serbian Duke Uroš I of Raška, and the king granted the couple estates near Tolna.
     On 1 March 1131, the childless king died, and on 28 April, Béla was crowned in Székesfehérvár. As Béla was blind, his wife played a decisive role in governing his kingdom. Shortly after ascending the throne, Queen Helena ordered the massacre of the people she considered responsible for her husband's blinding at an assembly in Arad. She implaced her brother, Beloš, as the count palatine, giving him supreme command over the Hungarian Army and a commendable place in the Hungarian Royal Court.

; Per Genealogics:
     “Béla was born about 1108, the son of Almos of Hungary, duke of Croatia, and Predslava of Kiev. Almos had led a rebellion against his half-brother Kálmán, king of Hungary, as a result of which he and Béla were blinded and forced to flee to Constantinople. Béla was recalled by the Hungarian magnates on the death of Kálmáns son and successor Stephan II in 1131. Kálmán had refused to acknowledge the legitimacy of Boris, the son born to his adulterous second wife Jevfemija Vladimirovna of Kiev. Because Béla was blind, his wife Jelena of Serbia and brother-in-law Belos of Rascia played a large role in governing his kingdom. Shortly after taking the throne, Jelena ordered the massacre of the men she considered responsible for her husband's blinding. She appointed her brother Belos as duke of Hungary, giving him supreme command over the Hungarian army and a prestigious place at the Hungarian Court.
     “Béla's reign was notable for his foreign policy - his sister Hedwig was married to Adalbert of Austria, a son of Leopold III of Austria, and another sister Adelheid to Sobjeslaw I, duke of Bohemia, thereby allying Hungary with two previously inimical states. In 1136 Béla managed to recover part of Dalmatia from the control of the Republic of Venice, and sent an expedition into Bosnia. In 1137, he gave the title of Duke of Bosnia, with acceptance from the entire country, to his son Laszlo II.
     “Béla's entire reign was overshadowed by a conflict with Boris, whom Kálmán had refused to acknowledge, in which Boris was supported by Poland and Rus'. In 1132 Boleslaw III Krzywousty, king of Poland, led a campaign with Rus' and Polish troops on behalf of Boris. Boleslaw and Boris were defeated near de Dajó River, but Boris was to prove a persistent claimant for a number of years to come, defeated finally in 1146.
     “Béla died from the effects of an overindulgence of alcohol on 13 February 1141. His successor was his eldest son Geisa II, but he was too young to rule, so Queen Jelena and her brother Belos continued as co-regents.”.⁴

     Andrew I the White (or the Catholic) was King of Hungary from 1046/1047 until his death. He descended from a younger branch of the Árpád dynasty. After spending fifteen years in exile, he ascended the throne during an extensive revolt of the pagan Hungarians. He strengthened the position of Christianity in his kingdom, while preserving the independence of the Kingdom of Hungary from the Holy Roman Empire. He tried to ensure the succession of his son, Solomon which resulted in the open revolt of his brother who dethroned him by force. When Andrew heard of his brother's open rebellion, he sent his family to Austria, and prepared for the struggle, although he had been so ill that he was not even able to walk. Shortly afterwards, Duke Béla returned to Hungary with Polish troops and won a decisive victory over the king. Following his defeat, Andrew fled towards Austria, but he fell off his horse at the Theben Pass. Andrew was arrested by Duke Béla's men and taken to Zirc where he died. Andrew was buried in the Tihany Abbey.

; Per Genealogics:
     "András was born about 1015, a son of Vazul (Basil) 'the Blind' of Hungary, lord of Gran and regions roughly corresponding with today's Slovakia. His mother was said to be a daughter of the Tsar of Bulgaria. She has been identified as either Katun Comitopuli of Bulgaria or Katalin of Bulgaria. András was from a younger branch of the Arpád dynasty. Hungarian tribal society favoured patrilineal seniority, not primogeniture, to determine the order of succession, which made other males of the Arpád dynasty in cadet lines dangerous to the incumbent king. András' branch of the dynasty had long been rivals of the older branch, to which Stephan I of Hungary and his father belonged. For the preceding half century the rivalry had centred much on the conflict between paganism and Christianity, representing (and used), respectively, by the younger and older branches. The older branch went extinct in the male line with Stephan's death in 1038, which opened up new opportunities for the younger, surviving male line. Stephan's female-line successors Aba Samuel and Peter Orseolo felt it necessary to suppress the rival family.
     "A period of dynastic struggle following Stephan's death was concluded after the death of Stephan's brother-in-law Peter Orseolo, when András took the Hungarian throne for his branch of the Arpád dynasty.
     "Under the rule of Stephan's other brother-in-law Sámuel Aba, András and his brothers Levente and Béla had been exiled from Hungary, fearing for their lives. First fleeing to Bohemia, they continued to Poland where Béla married into that royal family. András and Levente, possibly feeling overshadowed by their brother, continued on, settling in Kiev, and András married Anastasia, a daughter of Jaroslav I Vladimirovitch, grand duke of Kiev.
     "Their return to Hungary in 1046 sparked the Vatha pagan rising, in which András through pagan support managed to wrest the crown from Peter Orseolo. András was crowned in 1047 and strengthened his rule by military success, in part thanks to pagan support. Nevertheless, he continued the policies of Christianisation that had previously been in place. As Hungarian king, András remained an ally of his former hosts in exile, the Kievan Rus'.
     "The relationship with the Holy Roman Empire remained tense. The previous king, Peter Orseolo, had been a close ally of Emperor Heinrich III, and during his second reign, after the interlude of the reign of Sámuel Aba, Hungary had been part of the Holy Roman Empire. Heinrich now undertook two largely unsuccessful campaigns against Hungary, in 1051 and again in 1052. András then formed an alliance in 1053 with Konrad II, duke of Bavaria, thereby supporting the opposition to the emperor.
     "In 1057 András tried to ensure his succession by having his five-year-old son Salomon crowned as king. This proved unsuccessful, as in 1060 András' brother Béla I managed to unseat András and gain the throne, if only for a short time.
     "András, who was wounded in the battle against Béla, sent Salomon to Germany for safekeeping, and died in 1061. He and his family are buried in the Tihany abbey, founded by him on the shores of Lake Balaton.
     "His son Salomon followed his uncle Béla I as king of Hungary from 1063 to 1071, but neither of Salomon's sons (Salomon and David) left surviving male descendants, and the younger line of Béla prevailed after Salomon's death, with first Béla's son Geisa then Geisa's brother Laszlo; Laszlo was followed by Geisa's son Kalman. András' daughter Adelheid married Wratislaw II, king of Bohemia; however the descent continued only through her daughter Judith, who married Wladyslaw I Herman, king of Poland and became the mother of Boleslaw III Krzywousty, king of Poland, the great-grandson of András. And so the line from András continued not in Hungary, but in the Piast dynasty of Poland."²

     "ANDRÁS ([1014]-Zirc Autumn 1060, bur Tihany, Benedictine Abbey of St Anian). The Chronicon Varadiense names "dux Andreas postea rex, secundus…dux Bella demum rex, tertius dux Levente" as the three sons of "dux Vazul"[386]. The Gesta Hungarorum names (in order) "Andrea, Bela et Luenta, filiis Zarladislai" when recording that King István advised them to flee to Bohemia after the mutilation of Vazúl, the commentary suggesting that their father's name was changed by the compiler of the Gesta to disguise the fact that later Hungarian kings were descended from the blinded Vazúl. The Gesta clarifies in a later passage that András was the oldest son[387]. In another passage, the Gesta reports claims that the three brothers were "ex duce Wazul progenitos ex quadam virgine de genere Tatun" rather than legitimate[388]. The Gesta records that the three brothers moved from Bohemia to Poland during the second reign of King Péter, but that "Andreas et Luenta" were embittered by the success of their brother Béla in Poland and moved to Ruthenia, where "duce Lodomeriæ" refused to receive them out of regard for King Péter, and that from there they moved "ad terram…Comanorum"[389]. The estimated birth date of his daughter Adelaida suggests that András must have arrived in Kiev before [1039], assuming that she was born from his second marriage. The Hungarian nobles sent envoys to Kiev in Spring 1046 inviting the brothers Levente and András to return, which they did in Autumn 1046[390]. After the popular uprising which deposed King Peter in 1046, he succeeded as ANDRÁS I "the Catholic" King of Hungary, crowned at Székesfehérvár. The Chronicon Posoniense records that "Petrus rex" was blinded in 1047 and succeeded by "Andreas rex"[391]. The Gesta Hungarorum records that King András forced payment of tribute for three years from Austria, Bohemia and Poland, which provoked an attack on Hungary by Emperor Heinrich III[392]. "Andreas…Pannoniorum…Rex" founded Tihan abbey, Balatin by charter dated 1055, signed by "Gilconi comitis, Zache C. Palatii, Wotteh comitis, Ludouici comitis, Ernei comitis, Viti comitis, Martini comitis, Heliæ comitis, Andreæ comitis, Fancel comitis…"[393]. When King András crowned his infant son Salamon as associate king in 1057, his brother Béla was provoked into taking action to secure his own rights of succession. The Chronicon Posoniense records that "Andreas rex" crowned "Salamonem filium suum" during his illness[394]. Hungarian forces invaded Byzantine territory in 1059 in reprisal for Byzantium's failure to curb Pecheneg raids in Hungary, but quickly made peace after Emperor Isaakios Komnenos mobilised forces[395]. In 1060, Béla invaded Hungary with a large force, with Polish support, captured King András who died a few days later, and assumed power. The Gesta Hungarorum records the death of King András in the fifteenth year of his reign and his burial in "Tyhon monasterio"[396]. The Chronicon Varadiense records the death in 1060 of "Andreas" and his burial "in suo monasterio Thyan iuxta lacum Balaton"[397]. The Chronicon Posoniense records bitter disputes in 1060 between "Andream et fratrem eius Bela" and that "Andreas rex" died[398], which suggests that the death may have been violent.

After her husband's death in 1060, she and her sons took refuge at the court of Heinrich IV King of Germany but, leaving her elder son there, she and her younger son then went to Austria[401]. The Annals of Lambert record that "regina Ungariorum, mater Salomonis regis" presented the sword of "rex Hunnorum Attila" to "duci Baioriorum Ottoni" after her son was restored as king of Hungary[402]. She became a nun at Admont in 1074 as AGMUNDA."

He descended from a younger branch of the Árpád dynasty. After spending fifteen years in exile, he ascended the throne during an extensive revolt of the pagan Hungarians. He strengthened the position of Christianity in the Kingdom of Hungary and successfully defended its independence against the Holy Roman Empire.
     "His efforts to ensure the succession of his son, Solomon, resulted in the open revolt of his brother, Béla. Béla dethroned Andrew by force in 1060. Andrew suffered severe injuries during the fighting and died before his brother was crowned king.
Early life
Childhood (c. 1015–1031)
     "Medieval sources provide two contradictory reports of the parents of Andrew, and his two brothers, Levente and Béla.[1] For instance, the Chronicle of Zagreb and Saint Gerard's Life[1] write that their father was Vazul, a grandson of Taksony, Grand Prince of the Hungarians (r. c. 955–c. 970).[2] The Illuminated Chronicle and other medieval sources write of Vazul's relationship with "some girl" from the Tátony clan who bore his sons, who thus "were not born of a true marriage-bed".[3][4] According to a concurrent tradition, which has been preserved by most chronicles, the three princes were the sons of Vazul's brother, Ladislas the Bald.[1] Modern historians, who reject the latter report, agree that Andrew and his brothers were the sons of Vazul and his concubine from the Tátony clan.[1][5][6][7] According to the historian Gyula Kristó, Andrew was the second among Vazul's three sons. He writes that Andrew was born around 1015.[5]
In exile (1031–1046)
     "According to medieval chronicles, Vazul was blinded during the reign of his cousin, King Stephen I, the first Christian monarch of Hungary (r. 997–1038).[8] The king ordered Vazul's mutilation after the death, in 1031, of Emeric, his only son surviving infancy.[8][9] The contemporary Annals of Altaich writes that the king himself ordered the mutilation of one of his kinsmen, who had strong claim to the throne, in an attempt to ensure a peaceful succession to his own sister's son, Peter Orseolo.[10][6] The same source adds that the king expelled his blinded cousin's three sons from Hungary.[1] According to the contrasting report of the Hungarian chronicles, King Stephen wanted to save the young princes' lives from their enemies in the royal court and "counselled them with all speed"[11] to depart from Hungary.[5]

     "Exiled from Hungary, Andrew and his brothers settled in the court of Duke Old?ich of Bohemia (r. 1012–1033).[7] Here they came across King Mieszko II of Poland (r. 1025–1031, 1032–1034)[7] who likewise took refuge in Bohemia after his opponents had expelled him from his kingdom.[13] The Polish monarch regained his crown and returned to Poland in 1032.[14] Andrew, Béla and Levente, whose "condition of life was poor and mean"[15] in Bohemia, followed Mieszko II who received them "kindly and honourably"[15] in Poland.[5][7] After the youngest among them, Béla, married a daughter of Mieszko II, Andrew and Levente decided to depart from Poland, because they "felt that they would be living in Poland under their brother's shadow",[16] according to Simon of Kéza.[17]
     "Hungarian chronicles have preserved a story full of fabulous or anachronistic details of the two brothers' ensuing wanderings.[17] For instance, they narrate that Andrew and Levente were captured by Cumans,[17] but the latter only arrived in Europe in the 1050s.[18] Having faced many hardships, Andrew and Levente established themselves in the court of Yaroslav the Wise, Grand Prince of Kiev (r. 1019–1054) in the late 1030s. The grand prince gave his daughter, Anastasia in marriage to Andrew.[17] Kristó writes that Andrew, who had up to that time remained pagan, was baptized on this occasion.[19]
Return to Hungary (1046)
     "In the meantime, King Peter Orseolo, who had succeeded King Stephen in Hungary in 1038, alienated many lords and prelates from himself, especially when he solemnly recognized the suzerainty of the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry III in 1045.[6][21] According to the Illuminated Chronicle, the discontented lords, "seeing the sufferings of their people",[22] assembled in Csanád (Cenad, Romania).[23] They agreed to send envoys to Andrew and Levente to Kiev in order to persuade them to return to Hungary.[19] Fearing "some treacherous ambush",[24] the two brothers only set out after the agents they had sent to Hungary confirmed that the Hungarians were ripe for an uprising against the king.[19]
     "By the time the two brothers decided to return, a revolt had broken out in Hungary.[25] It was dominated by pagans who captured many clergymen and mercilessly slaughtered them.[6] Andrew and Levente met the rebels at Abaújvár.[19] The Illuminated Chronicle narrates how the pagans urged the dukes "to allow the whole people to live according to the rites of the pagans, to kill the bishops and the clergy, to destroy the churches, to throw off the Christian faith and to worship idols".[24][19] The same source adds that Andrew and Levente gave in to all their demands, "for otherwise they would not fight"[24] for them against King Peter.[19][26]
     "The Annals of Altaich states that Andrew "savagely raged against the flock of the Holy Church".[26][27] Even so, Bishop Gerard of Csanád and four other prelates were ready to join Andrew, but the pagans captured and slaughtered three of them (including Gerard) at Buda.[23][28] King Peter decided to flee from Hungary and take refugee in Austria.[23] However, Andrew's envoys tricked the king to return before he reached the frontier, and they captured and blinded him.[23][29]
Reign
Coronation (1046–1047)
     "Most Hungarian lords and the prelates opposed the restoration of paganism.[21][30] They preferred the devout Christian Andrew to his pagan brother Levente,[21] even if, at least according to Kristó and Steinhübel, the latter was the eldest among Vazul's three sons.[31][32] The Hungarian chronicles write that Levente, who died in short time, did not oppose his brother's ascension to the throne.[32][23] The three bishops who had survived the pagan uprising crowned Andrew in Székesfehérvár in the last quarter of 1046 or in the spring of 1047.[23][33] Historian Ferenc Makk writes that Andrew was crowned with a crown that the Byzantine Emperor Constantine IX Monomachos had sent to him.[33] Nine enamelled plaques from this golden crown were unearthed in Nyitraivánka (Ivanka pri Nitre, Slovakia) in the 19th century.[34] Andrew soon broke with his pagan supporters, restored Christianity and declared pagan rites illegal.[26][30] According to Kosztolnyik, Andrew's epithets (the White or the Catholic) are connected to these events.[35]
          "Having now been made secure against all disturbances from enemies, Duke Andreas received the crown of kingship in the royal city of Alba. No more than three bishops who had escaped that great slaughter of the Christians performed the ceremony of coronation in the year of our Lord 1047. He made proclamation to all his people that under pain of death they should lay aside the pagan rites which had formerly been permitted to them, and that they should return to the true faith of Christ and live in all things according to the law which King St Stephen had taught them.
—?The Hungarian Illuminated Chronicle[36]
Wars with the Holy Roman Empire (1047–1053)
     "The contemporaneous Hermann of Reichenau narrates that Andrew "sent frequent envoys with humble entreaties" to Emperor Henry III, proposing "an annual tribute and faithful service"[37] if the emperor recognized his reign.[38] Andrew persuaded his brother, Béla, to return from Poland to Hungary in 1048.[39] He also granted his brother one third of the kingdom[39][40] with the title of duke.[30] Béla's duchy comprised two regions which were centered on Nyitra (Nitra, Slovakia) and Bihar (Biharia, Romania).[39][30]
     "Skirmishes on the frontier between Hungary and the Holy Roman Empire first occurred in 1050.[41] Emperor Henry invaded Hungary in August[29] 1051, but Andrew and Béla successfully applied scorched earth tactics against the imperial troops and forced them to withdraw.[41][30] Legend says that the Vértes Hills near Székesfehérvár were named after the armours – vért in Hungarian – which were discarded by the retreating German soldiers.[30]
     "Andrew initiated new peace negotiations with the emperor and promised to pay an annual tribute, but his offers were refused.[41] Next summer, the emperor returned to Hungary and laid siege to Pressburg (Bratislava, Slovakia).[29] Zotmund, "a most skilful swimmer"[42] scuttled the emperor's ships.[29][41] After Pope Leo IX mediated a peace treaty, the emperor lifted the siege and withdrew from Hungary.[29][41] Andrew soon refused to fulfill his promises made under duress,[41] and even allied with Conrad I, Duke of Bavaria, a prominent opponent of Emperor Henry III.[43]
Succession crisis and death (1053–1060)
     "Andrew's queen, Anastasia, gave birth to a son, named Solomon in 1053.[45] Andrew attempted to make his son's succession secure, even against his brother, Béla, who had strong claim to succeed Andrew according to the traditional principle of seniority.[46]
The brothers' relationship did not deteriorate immediately after Solomon's birth.[47] In the deed of the foundation of the Tihany Abbey, a Benedictine monastery established in 1055 by Andrew, Duke Béla was listed among the lords witnessing the act.[47] This charter, although primarily written in Latin, contains the earliest extant text – Feheruuaru rea meneh hodu utu rea ("on the military road which leads to Fehérvár") – written in Hungarian.[48] Andrew also established a lavra for Orthodox hermits in Tihany and an Orthodox monastery near Visegrád.[49] The Third Book of Law of King Ladislaus I of Hungary (r. 1077–1095) refers to an "estate survey of the judge Sarkas" under "King Andrew and Duke Béla".[50][51] According to György Györffy, the serfs of the royal domains were registered during this survey which took place around 1056.[51]
     "Andrew suffered a stroke which paralyzed him.[45] In an attempt to strengthen his son's claim to the throne, he had the child Solomon crowned in the one-year-long period beginning in the autumn of 1057.[45] For the same purpose, Andrew also arranged the engagement of his son with Judith – a daughter of the late Emperor Henry III, and sister of the new German monarch, Henry IV (r. 1056–1105) – in September 1058.[52] Thereafter, according to an episode narrated by most Hungarian chronicles, the king invited Duke Béla to a meeting at Tiszavárkony.[53] At their meeting, Andrew seemingly offered his brother to freely choose between a crown and a sword, which were the symbols of the kingdom and the ducatus, respectively.[54] Duke Béla, who had previously been informed by his partisans in Andrew's court that he would be murdered on the king's order if he opted for the crown, chose the sword.[54]
     "However, Béla, who actually had no intention of renouncing his claim to succeed his brother in favor of his nephew, fled to Poland and sought military assistance from Duke Boleslaus II of Poland (r. 1058–1079).[54][55] With Duke Boleslaus's support, Béla returned to Hungary at the head of Polish troops.[56] On the other hand, the Dowager Empress Agnes – who governed the Holy Roman Empire in the name of her minor son, Henry IV – sent Bavarian, Bohemian and Saxon troops to assist Andrew.[56]
     "The decisive battle was fought in the regions east of the river Tisza.[45] Andrew suffered injuries and lost the battle.[45][54] He attempted to flee to the Holy Roman Empire, but his brother's partisans routed his retinue at Moson.[45] The Annals of Niederaltaich narrates that wagons and horses trampled him in the battlefield.[57] Deadly wounded in the battlefield, Andrew was seized and taken by his brother's partisans to Zirc[45] where "he was treated with neglect",[58] according to the Illuminated Chronicle.[57] Andrew died in the royal manor there before his brother was crowned king on 6 December 1060.[59] Andrew was buried in the crypt of the church of the Tihany Abbey.[60]
Family
     "Andrew's wife, Anastasia, was the daughter of Grand Duke Yaroslav I the Wise of Kiev by his wife, Ingegerd, who herself was the daughter of King Olof Skötkonung of Sweden.[61] Andrew married Anastasia, who was born in about 1020, around 1038.[17] Their first child, Adelaide was born around 1040.[62] She became the wife of Vratislaus II of Bohemia, who was initially Duke and, from 1085, King of Bohemia.[63][64] Andrew and Anastasia's first son, Solomon, was born in 1053, their second son, David, some years later.[63] Neither Solomon nor David fathered sons; the male line of Andrew's family died out with their death by the end of the 11th century.[45]
     "Medieval chronicles write that Andrew had a natural son, named George, "by a concubine"[66] from the village of Pilismarót.[67] Since his name was popular among Orthodox believers, Gyula Kristó says that his mother may have been a Russian lady-in-waiting of Andrew's queen.[67] The story that the Clan Drummond in Scotland are descended from George[68] and his son Maurice[69][70][71] is not accepted by some scholars.[72]

; Per Genealogics:
     "Wratislaw became the first king of Bohemia on 15 June 1085. The royal title was a grant from the Holy Roman Emperor and was not hereditary. Before being raised to the kingship, he had ruled Bohemia as duke since 1061. He was one of the greatest of medieval Czech rulers.
     "He was born about 1035, the son of Bretislaw I 'the Warrior', duke of Bohemia and Moravia, and Judith von Schweinfurt. On his father's death in 1055, Wratislaw became duke of Olomouc. He argued with his brother Spytihnev II and was exiled to Hungary. Wratislaw regained his Moravian ducal throne with Hungarian assistance. He eventually reconciled with his brother and succeeded him in the dukeship of all the lands of the Bohemian Crown.
     "Wratislaw was, from the beginning, a vassal and ally of Emperor Heinrich IV. He supported Heinrich in both the Investiture Controversy and the rebellions in Saxony which dominated his long reign. Pope Gregory VII, having already gained the support of Boleslaw II of Poland, was eager to gain the support of the duke of Bohemia to surround the emperor with adversaries fighting for the Church. The Pope confirmed Wratislaw in the privileges of wearing the mitre and tunic which his predecessors had worn. The pope also expressed gratitude for the regular payment of tribute to the Holy See. Wratislaw was often at odds with his brother Jaromir, the bishop of Prague, and he wore his religious vestments around the bishop to irritate him. Jaromir, for his part, ignored the creation of a new Moravian diocese by Wratislaw in 1063. Jaromir even went so far as to take by force the relics removed from Prague to Moravia. Despite the pope's support for Wratislaw's new see, the Bohemian duke was resolute in his allegiance to the empire.
     "In 1070 the Saxons revolted under their duke Magnus and Otto von Nordheim, duke of Bavaria and Boleslaw of Poland attacked Bohemia in 1071. In August 1073 Heinrich responded with an invasion of Poland, but a new Saxon revolt drew him back in 1075. Wratislaw joined him and they defeated the rebels on 9 June at the First Battle of Langensalza. The Bohemian troops showed conspicuous bravery. Heinrich then took Jaromir to Germany to be his chancellor under the name of Gebhard, to Wratislaw's great relief.
     "Wratislaw also took part in the wars against the anti-kings who opposed Heinrich's rule and were elected by a section of the nobility to replace him. At the Battle of Flarchheim the imperial army needed the aid of Wratislaw's contingent to overcome the rebels of the papally-approved claimant Rudolf of Rheinfelden, duke of Swabia. Wratislaw even succeeded in seizing Rudolf's gold sword. This was carried in front of Wratislaw on state occasions. Wratislaw raised an army to serve in Heinrich's Italian campaign of 1081. Despite serving the excommunicated emperor, Wratislaw maintained good relations with the papacy. Nonetheless, Gregory refused to grant Wratislaw permission to use the Slavonic liturgy. However Wratislaw at no stage supported Heinrich's antipope, Clement III.
     "Wratislaw coveted the largely Slavic marches of Meissen and Lusatia, but in spite of Heinrich's promises and Bohemian successes against the rebellious margraves, he never received them. Wratislaw always obediently returned to the emperor any territory conquered from Poland or the margravates. Between 1075 and 1086, he held some land in Lower Lusatia in hopes that eventually Heinrich would confirm it in his possession permanently, but in 1088, with the insurrection of Egbert II of Meissen, Emperor Heinrich granted the region to Heinrich of Ostmark. Wratislaw was thereafter cool to the emperor's military adventures. He never adjusted his loyalty, but he abstained from giving the emperor military aid.
     "Wratislaw married three times. There are no details of the first marriage, which produced no issue. In 1057 he married Adelheid of Hungary, daughter of András I, king of Hungary and Anastasia of Kiev. They had two children, both of whom would have progeny: Bretislaw II, and Judith who married Wladyslaw I Herman, son of Kazimierz I Karol, king of Poland. His children Wratislaw and Ludmilla may have been children of Adelheid but also of his third wife. Adelheid died in 1062, and the following year Wratislaw married Swatawa/Swatislawa of Poland, a daughter of Kazimierz I Karol. They had six children, of whom four (Wladislaw I, Borziwoy II, Sobjeslaw I and another Judith) would have progeny.
     "It was a Premyslid tradition that Moravia would be entrusted to the younger brothers of the ruling prince. In Wratislaw's case, his two younger brothers Konrad I and Otto I inherited Brno and Olomouc, and the youngest, Jaromir, entered the church. However, enmity grew between the brothers. It was then that Wratislaw founded a diocese at Olomouc, under the Archbishopric of Mainz to counter Otto's authority within his province. Both pope and emperor took a hand in refereeing the conflict, which was partly resolved with Jaromir's appointment as Heinrich's chancellor in 1077. In April 1085 a Diet convened in Mainz suppressed the Moravian see, but Wratislaw later founded the see again. Jaromir, who protested in Rome to Pope Urban II, died in 1090.
     "Sadly for Wratislaw, his last years were occupied by more dynastic quarrelling. When his brother Otto I died in 1086, he gave Olomouc to his son Boleslaw (his eldest son from his third marriage), which was seen to be against the interests of Wratislaw's brother Konrad. Wratislaw raised an army against Konrad and sent it out under his eldest son Bretislaw. Instead, this son turned on him. Wratislaw, in keeping with Czech custom, designated his surviving brother Konrad as his heir. He and Konrad were reconciled, and the two routed Bretislaw who fled to Hungary.
     "Wratislaw died of a hunting wound on 14 January 1092, after a reign of thirty years. His brother Konrad succeeded him but died in September of the same year, and the succession passed to Wratislaw's eldest son Bretislaw, returned from exile in Hungary. He died without issue in 1100 and was succeeded by Swatopluk II, the son of Wratislaw's late brother Otto I. When Swatopluk died in 1109, his successor was Wratislaw's son Wladislaw, who would rule as Wladislaw I, duke of Bohemia."¹⁶

; Per Wikipedia:
     "Vratislaus (or Wratislaus) II (Czech: Vratislav II.) (d. 14 January 1092), the son of Bretislaus I[1] and Judith of Schweinfurt, was the first King of Bohemia as of 15 June 1085,[1] his royal title granted as a lifetime honorific from Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV that did not establish a hereditary monarchy.[1] Before his elevation to the royal dignity, Vratislaus had ruled Bohemia as duke since 1061.
     "On his father's death in 1055, Vratislaus became duke of Olomouc, whereas his older brother became Duke of Bohemia as Spytihn?v II. He fell out with his brother and was exiled to Hungary. Vratislaus regained the ducal throne of Olomouc with Hungarian assistance and eventually reconciled with his brother, then succeeded him as duke of Bohemia when he died in 1061.
Campaigns of Henry IV
     "Both Pope Alexander II and Pope Gregory VII confirmed Vratislaus in the privilege of wearing the mitre and tunic which his predecessors had.[2] Despite this, Vratislaus supported Henry in both the Investiture Controversy against the popes and the rebellions in Saxony that dominated his long reign. These actions would negate the significance of the mitre.[2]
     "Vratislaus was often at odds with his brother Jaromír, the bishop of Prague. Jaromír, for his part, ignored the creation of a new Moravian diocese in Olomouc by Vratislaus in 1063.[3] Jaromir even went so far as to retake, by arms, the relics removed from Prague and taken to Moravia. Despite the pope's support for Vratislaus' new see, the Bohemian duke was unswayed in his loyalty to the emperor.
     "The Saxons revolted under Duke Magnus of Saxony and Otto of Nordheim, Duke of Bavaria, in 1070 and Boleslaus of Poland attacked Bohemia in 1071. In August 1073, Henry responded with an invasion of Poland, but a new Saxon revolt drew him back in 1075. Vratislaus joined him, and they defeated the rebels on 9 June at the First Battle of Langensalza. The Bohemian troops showed conspicuous bravery. Henry then took Jaromír to Germany to be his chancellor under the name of Gebhard and Vratislaus was greatly relieved.
     "Vratislaus also took part in the wars against the anti-kings who opposed Henry's rule and were elected by a faction of the nobility to replace him. At the Battle of Flarchheim, only through the aid of Vratislaus' contingent was the imperial army capable of overcoming the rebels of the papally-approved claimant Rudolf of Rheinfelden, Duke of Swabia.[4] Vratislaus even succeeded in seizing Rudolf's golden lance.[4] The golden lance was then carried in front of Vratislaus on state occasions.
Relations with the papacy
     "Vratislaus raised an army to serve in Henry's Italian campaign of 1081. In 1083, Vratislaus and his Bohemians were with Henry when they entered Rome itself.
     "Despite his serving an excommunicated emperor, Vratislaus maintained good relations with the papacy. Nonetheless, Gregory refused to grant Vratislaus permission to use the Slavonic liturgy. Never, however, did Vratislaus link his fate with that of Henry's antipope, Clement III.
Expansionism
     "Vratislaus coveted the largely Slavic marches of Meissen and Lusatia, but, in spite of Henry's promises and Bohemian successes against the rebellious margraves, he never received them. He held Lower Lusatia between 1075 and 1086, but in 1088, with the insurrection of Egbert II of Meissen, Henry granted the region to Henry of Ostmark. Vratislaus was thereafter cool to Henry's military adventures. He never wavered in his loyalty, but he abstained from giving the emperor martial aid.
Internal affairs
     "It was a P?emyslid tradition that Moravia would be entrusted to the younger brothers of the ruling prince. In Vratislaus' case, his two younger brothers Conrad and Otto inherited Brno and Olomouc and the youngest, Jaromír, entered the church. However, enmity grew between the brothers. It was then that Vratislaus founded the diocese of Olmütz (diocese of Olomouc), under the Archbishopric of Mainz, to counter Otto's authority within his province. Both pope and emperor took a hand in mediating the conflict, which was partially fixed with Henry's appointment of Jaromír as chancellor in 1077. In April 1085, a reichstag convened in Mainz suppressed the Moravian see, but Vratislaus later re-founded see. Jaromír protested in Rome to Pope Urban II, but died in 1090 before a pope ruled on the matter.
     "Sadly for Vratislaus, his last years were occupied by dynastic quarrelling. When his brother Otto died in 1086, he gave Olomouc to his son Boleslaus, which was seen to be an act against the interests of Conrad. Vratislaus raised an army against Conrad and sent it out under his other son Bretislaus. This son turned on him. Vratislaus, in keeping with Bohemian custom, designated an heir: Conrad. Thus reconciled, the two attacked Bretislaus, who fled to Hungary.
     "Vratislaus died of a hunting wound on 14 January 1092 after a reign of thirty years. He was buried in St. Peter and Paul?s Church, Vyšehrad.[5]
Legacy
     "Vratislaus frequently found himself in conflict with Bishop Jaromír of Prague and sought means to diminish the importance of the Bishop of Prague in domestic Bohemian politics. Among the actions he took were the re-establishment of the Bishopric of Olomouc in 1063 and the creation of the Vyšehrad Chapter in 1070. The latter was richly endowed independently of the Prague bishop, subject instead to the Holy See directly. His success in curbing the power of the Prague bishop helped to strengthen the Bohemian crown and enable later rulers to govern a more unified state. His policy towards the Holy Roman Empire set an example that would be followed in the twelfth century and would ultimately lead to the permanent elevation of Bohemia to the status of a kingdom at the beginning of the thirteenth century. The marriage alliances he was able to conclude with notable foreign princesses reflected the rising position of the P?emyslids among European dynasties. In contrast, Vratislaus's father Bretislaus in 1019 had to abduct his wife, the minor noblewoman Judith of Schweinfurt, to secure any suitable consort at all. His successor continued to cultivate dynastic bonds with notable courts in central and eastern Europe.
Family
     "Vratislaus was married three times. His first wife Maria died during premature childbirth. He married the second time in 1057 to Adelaide, daughter of Andrew I of Hungary, who died in 1061.[6] They had four children:
     "In 1062, Vratislaus married a third time to Swatawa of Poland, a daughter of Casimir I of Poland.[7] They had five children:

; Per Wikipedia:
     "Judith of Bohemia (c. 1056/58 – 25 December 1086), also known as Judith P?emyslid, was a Bohemian princess of the P?emyslid dynasty, and Duchess of Poland by marriage.
     "She was a daughter of Duke Vratislaus II of Bohemia by his second wife Adelaide, daughter of King Andrew I of Hungary.[1][2] She was named after her paternal grandmother Judith of Schweinfurt, who died shortly after her birth.
Life
Family
     "Judith was the second of four children born from Vratislaus II's marriage with the Hungarian princess Adelaide. The others were Bretislaus II, Ludmila (later a nun) and Vratislaus, who died young in battle. Judith's uncle Duke Spytihn?v II died in 1061 and was succeeded by his brother Vratislaus II. One year later, in 1062, Duchess Adelaide died.
     "Duke Vratislaus II remarried in 1063 to ?wi?tos?awa, daughter of Duke Casimir I of Poland. From this marriage, Judith gained five half-siblings: Boleslav (Duke of Olomouc, who died shortly before his father), Borivoj II, Vladislav I, Sob?slav I Old?ich and Judith, later wife of Wiprecht II of Groitzsch, Burgrave of Magdeburg.
Marriage
     "Around 1080, Judith married W?adys?aw I Herman, Duke of Poland (nephew of her stepmother), to solidify the recently established Bohemian-Polish alliance.
     "According to contemporary chroniclers, Duchess Judith performed remarkable charity work, helping the needy and ensuring the comfort of subjects and prisoners. After almost five years of childless marriage, the necessity for an heir increased:
     "On 10 June 1085, Judith and her husband were present at the coronation of her father Duke Vratislaus II as the first King of Bohemia. One year later, on 20 August 1086, she gave birth to the long-awaited son and heir, the future Duke Boles?aw III Wrymouth. Sadly, the duchess never recovered from the effects of childbirth and died four months later, on 25 December. She was buried in Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Masovia in P?ock.
     "Three years later, in 1089, her husband was remarried to the widow of Judith's uncle King Solomon of Hungary, Judith of Swabia, who was renamed Sophia in Poland in order to distinguish herself from W?adys?aw I's first wife.

     "W?adys?aw I Herman (c. 1044[1] – 4 June 1102) was a Duke of Poland from 1079 until his death.
     "He was the second son of Casimir I the Restorer by his wife Maria Dobroniega, daughter of Vladimir the Great, Grand Duke of Kiev.
Biography
     "As the second son, W?adys?aw was not destined for the throne. However, due to the flight from Poland of his older brother Boles?aw II the Bold in 1079, he was elevated to the rank of Duke of Poland. Opinions vary on whether W?adys?aw played an active role in the plot to depose his brother or whether he was handed the authority simply because he was the most proper person, being the next in line in the absence of the king and his son Mieszko Boles?awowic.
     "In 1080, in order to improve the relations between Poland and Bohemia, W?adys?aw married Judith, the daughter of the Duke (and first King from 1085) Vratislaus II. After this, the foreign policy of the Duke gravitated strongly towards appeasement of the Holy Roman Empire.
He accepted overlordship of the Empire, and when in 1085 while in Mainz the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV announced that his brother-in-law Vratislaus II to be King of Bohemia and Poland, W?adys?aw did not object. He also never pursued the Royal crown due to his subservient status. Soon after, he was forced by the barons of Poland to recall from exile in Hungary his nephew and rightful heir to the Polish throne, Mieszko Boles?awowic. The young prince accepted the overlordship of his uncle and gave up his hereditary claims in exchange for becoming first in line of succession. W?adys?aw was forced to accept the terms of his nephew, because his eldest and only son at that time, Zbigniew, was illegitimate because he had been born from a union not recognized by the church. W?adys?aw's relations with the Emperor were considerably improved after his second marriage with his sister Judith (also Dowager Queen of Hungary) in 1089.
     "W?adys?aw abandoned the alliance with Hungary favored by his deposed brother, and joined the anti-Papal camp. Also, he resumed paying tribute for Silesia to Bohemia. In addition Kraków and Cieszyn were ceded to Bohemia, Lubusz Land was lost to Germany while Przemy?l Land in the east was lost to Halych-Ruthenia. W?adys?aw did make attempts to regain the control of Pomerania, and through numerous expeditions was temporarily (1090–1091) able to do so.
     "Although W?adys?aw was formally Dux and an Overlord of Poland, in reality the barons who banished his brother used this victory to strengthen their position. It's not surprising therefore, that within a short time the Duke was forced to give up the government to his Count Palatine, (Polish: wojewoda) a high born noble named Sieciech. Sieciech's administration of the realm was negatively perceived by those of the barons who were not the beneficiaries of the power shift.
     "The birth of the future Boles?aw III completely changed the political situation in Poland. Mieszko Boleslawowic was already seventeen at that time and was, by the previous agreement made after his return, the first in line to succeed. In 1089 Mieszko died under mysterious circumstances, probably poisoned on the orders of Sieciech and Duchess Judith-Sophia. Almost immediately, Zbigniew was sent to Germany and placed in the Quedlinburg Abbey. With the idea of forcing his first-born son to take the holy vows, W?adys?aw intended to deprive him of any chance of succession.
     "In 1090 Sieciech, with help of Polish forces under his command, managed to gain control of Gda?sk Pomerania, albeit for a short time. Major towns were garrisoned by Polish troops, the rest were burned, in order to thwart any future resistance. Several months later, however, a rebellion of native elites led to the restoration of the region’s independence from Poland.
     "Sieciech's tyrannical rule reflected negatively on W?adys?aw, causing a massive political migration out of Poland. In 1093 Silesia rebelled, and the comes Magnus with the assistance of the Bohemian and Polish knights welcomed Zbigniew after he escaped from Germany; however, soon Sieciech captured the prince and imprisoned him. The increasing dissatisfaction in the country forced the release of Zbigniew in 1097. Immediately after this W?adys?aw (after an unsuccessfully retaliatory expedition against Silesia and forced to recognize Zbigniew as the legitimate heir) appointed his sons as commanders of the army which was formed in order to recapture Gda?sk Pomerania.
     "Simultaneously a great migration of Jews from Western Europe to Poland began circa 1096, around the time of the First Crusade. W?adys?aw, a tolerant ruler, attracted the Jews into his domains, and permitted to settle throughout the entire country without restriction.
     "Soon Zbigniew and Boles?aw decided to join forces and demanded that the reigns of the government should be handed over to them. W?adys?aw agreed to divide the realm between the brothers, each to be granted his own province while he himself kept control of Mazovia and its capital at P?ock. W?adys?aw also retained control of the most important cities i.e. Wroc?aw, Kraków and Sandomierz. Zbigniew’s province encompassed Greater Poland including Gniezno, Kuyavia, ??czyca and Sieradz. Boles?aw’s territory included Lesser Poland, Silesia and Lubusz Land.
     "However, Sieciech, alarmed by the evident diminution of his power, began to intrigue against the brothers. W?adys?aw decided to support him against his own sons. Defeated, in 1101 and after the mediation of the Archbishop of Gniezno Martin, the Duke was forced to confiscate Sieciech's properties and exiled him.
     "W?adys?aw died on 4 June 1102, without resolving the issue of succession, leaving his sons to struggle for supremacy. His body was interned in the P?ock Cathedral.[2][3][4][5]
Churches founded
     "W?adys?aw founded several churches in Poland. Most notably he was the founder of the Romanesque Wawel Cathedral of which the Silver Bells Tower still remains standing. He was also very fond of Saint Giles (Polish: Idzi) to whom he founded no less than three churches: in Kraków, Inowlodz and Giebultow. This is attributed to the fact that while his first wife was finally pregnant after six years of childless marriage, the Duke sent rich gifts to the Benedictine monastery of Saint Gilles in southern France, begging for a healthy child. When a boy was born, Wladyslaw began building churches in his honor. According to legend, he also founded a church "on the sand" dedicated to the Virgin Mary, which was later granted to the Carmelites.
Health issues
     "According to Gallus Anonymus, W?adys?aw long suffered from a debilitating ailment that affected his legs. There is also a legend which states that in 1086 W?adys?aw was affected by a terrible pox, with abscesses that affected his nose and face. According to the legend Holy Virgin appeared in the duke's dream and led him to find the cure in the sandy area outside the city. Once healed W?adys?aw founded a Church of Holiest Virgin Mary "on the sand" in the spot where he found the cure.
Marriages and issue
     "Before W?adys?aw took the title of Duke of Poland, probably during the 1070s, he had a relationship with a certain Przec?awa, whose exact origins are unknown, although some sources stated that she belonged to the Prawdzic clan.[6] Her status is also a matter of dispute among the historians: some believed that she only was W?adys?aw's mistress and others asserted that she was his wife, but this union was performed under pagan rituals and in consequence not recognized by the Church as a valid marriage. By 1080, one year after W?adys?aw ascended to the Polish throne, Przec?awa either died or was sent away; it's believed by some sources that after she was dismissed by the Duke, Przec?awa took the veil under the name of Christina (Polish: Krystyna) and died around 1092.[7] This union produced a son, Zbigniew (b. c. 1070/73 – d. c. 1112/14), who was considered illegitimate.
     "In 1080 W?adys?aw married firstly with Judith (b. c. 1056 – d. 25 December 1086), daughter of Duke (and since 1085 King) Vratislaus II of Bohemia. They had one son:
     "In 1089 W?adys?aw married secondly with Judith (b. 9 April 1054 – d. 14 March c. 1105), daughter of Henry III, Holy Roman Emperor and widow of King Solomon of Hungary. They had four daughters:
1. Sophia (b. c. 1089 – d. bef. 12 May 1112), married bef. 1108 to Yaroslav Sviatopolkovich, Prince of Volhynia, son of Sviatopolk II of Kiev.
2. Agnes (b. c. 1090 – d. 29 December 1127), Abbess of Quedlinburg (1110) and Gandersheim (1111).
3. Adelaide (b. c. 1091 – d. 25/26 March 1127), married bef. 1118 to Dietrich III, Count of Vohburg and Margrave of the Northern March.[8]
4. A daughter (b. c. 1092 – d. bef. 1111), married c. 1111 with a Polish lord.

     "A younger son of Erard II, comte de Brienne and Agnès de Montfaucon, Jean was probably born in 1168. Penniless, he passed many years as a minor noble until befriended by King Philippe II August of France, who arranged for him to marry Maria de Monferrato, queen of Jerusalem. In 1210 Jean reached the Palestinian city of Acre and on 14 September 1210 he married Maria and became titular king of Jerusalem. Maria died in 1212 and Jean was named regent for their infant daughter Yolande, who inherited the crown as Isabella II.
     "Before May 1214 he married Stephanie/Isabella of Armenia, daughter of the Armenian king Leo II, and had a son by her. As regent Jean arranged a five-year truce with al-Malik al-Adil, sultan of Egypt and Syria. During the truce he persuaded Pope Innocent III to launch the Fifth Crusade in support of his daughter's kingdom.
     "In 1218 he joined the crusading force in an expedition against the Egyptian port of Damietta. After quarrelling with the crusade leader, the cardinal legate Pelagius, Jean left Egypt in February 1220, returning in July 1221 to witness the humiliating defeat of the crusaders and the abandonment of the siege of Damietta.
     "Stephanie died in 1219; Jean then married Berenguela of León and Castile, daughter of Alfonso IX, king of León, and his second wife Berenguela of Castile; they had three sons and a daughter who would have progeny. In 1225 he gave his daughter Isabella in marriage to the Holy Roman Emperor Friedrich II, trying to retain his rights as regent of the kingdom of Jerusalem. Immediately following the marriage Friedrich began to contest these rights.
     "In 1228 Jean was invited to Constantinople to be regent and co-emperor with the young Baudouin II de Courtenay, and arranged a match between Baudouin and Marie, his four-year old daughter by Berenguela. Crowned in 1231, Jean helped fend off attacks by the Bulgarian tsar Ivan Asen II and the Nicaean emperor Johannes III Vatatzes, but shortly before his death he was forced to appeal to the West for help. Jean died on 21 March 1237 in Constantinople."²

"Johan de Briene" is named as brother of Gauthier de Brienne by William of Tyre (Continuator), after his brother Guillaume[311]. "Gualterius comes Brene" donated property to Beaulieu (Aube) by charter dated 1194 with the consent of "Willelmi et Johannis fratrum eius"[312].

"Johannes comes Brene" donated property to Basse-Fontaine by charter dated Apr 1210[314]. His first marriage was arranged by Philippe II King of France, who gave him a dower of 40,000 silver pounds, a sum which was equalled by Pope Innocent III[315]. He landed at Acre 13 Sep 1210, was married to his first wife the next day, and was crowned 3 Oct 1210 at Tyre as JEAN King of Jerusalem by Albert Patriarch of Jerusalem[316]. "Iohannes…Latinorum Ierusalem rex decimus et comes Brena et domina Maria uxor mea regina" donated property to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem by charter dated 1 Jul 1211[317]. He retained the bailiship of the kingdom of Jerusalem after the death of his first wife[318], nominally in the name of his daughter. After a long siege, and with the help of western armies which were part of the Fifth Crusade, Damietta in Egypt was captured 5 Nov 1219 and added to the territory of the kingdom of Jerusalem[319]. Jean left the crusade in Feb 1220, intending to visit Armenia to claim the throne in the name of his second wife following the death of her father, but as both she and their infant son died before he sailed for Cilicia he had no further claim and abandoned the journey[320]. He arrived back with the Fifth Crusade 6 Jul 1221, which proceeded to march further into Egypt but was forced to retreat and return Damietta 8 Sep 1221[321]. After appointing Eudes de Montbéliard as regent, King Jean sailed from Acre in autumn 1222, to find a suitable husband for his daughter. He agreed to her marriage with Friedrich II King of Germany on condition that he continued as regent of Jerusalem for life. Matthew Paris records that “Johannes de Brennes rex Jerusalem et magister superioris Hospitalis fratrum Jerusalem” visited England “circa octavas Apostolorum Petri et Pauli” to seek help for the relief of “Terræ Sanctæ”[322]. His son-in-law reneged on his promise relating to the throne of Jerusalem immediately after his wedding and declared himself king of Jerusalem in 1225[323]. He was appointed regent of the Latin empire of Constantinople, by agreement at Perugia in Apr 1229, and was crowned JEAN Emperor of Constantinople on his arrival in the city in 1231.

A continuator of Caffaro records the death in 1192 of "Conrado marchionis Montidferrati" leaving "uxore sua pregnante, ex quo nata est unica filia Maria"[326], which indicates that Maria must have been born in summer 1192, therefore after her mother's second marriage. She was known as "la Marquise", from her father's rank[327]. Her marriage was arranged by Philippe II King of France, who gave her husband a dower of 40,000 silver pounds, a sum which was equalled by Pope Innocent III[328]. She was crowned with her husband 3 Oct 1210 at Tyre[329]. William of Tyre (Continuator) records her death in childbirth within two years of her marriage[330].
