Note

John, a French nobleman, became king by his marriage to Queen Marie de
Montferrat of Jerusalem. When Marie died, their Young daughter Yolande
succeeded as queen under John's regency. After playing an important part
in the Fifth Crusade, John lived and traveled in western Europe, seeking
support for another Crusade. In 1222 he betrothed Yolande to the Holy
Roman emperor Frederick II. Upon their marriage in 1225, Frederick quickly
claimed the crown of Jerusalem. John, also claiming the crown, commanded
papal troops in an attack upon Frederick's possessions in Italy. In 1229
John became regent and coemperor with Baldwin II, the 12-year-old Latin
ruler of Constantinople. In this capacity, he defended the Latin Empire
against attacks by the Byzantines and their Bulgarian allies.
