John of Brienne
John of Brienne (1170 – 27 March 1237), also known as John I, was King of Jerusalem from 1210 to 1225 and Latin Emperor of Constantinople from 1229 to 1237.
He was the youngest son of Erard II of Brienne, a wealthy nobleman in Champagne.
John, originally destined for an ecclesiastical career, became a knight and owned small estates in Champagne around 1200.
After the death of his brother, Walter III, he ruled the County of Brienne on behalf of his minor nephew Walter IV (who lived in southern Italy).
The barons of the Kingdom of Jerusalem proposed that John marry their queen, Maria.
With the consent of Philip II of France and Pope Innocent III, he left France for the Holy Land and married the queen; the couple were crowned in 1210.
After Maria's death in 1212 John administered the kingdom as regent for their infant daughter, Isabella II; an influential lord, John of Ibelin, attempted to depose him.
John was a leader of the Fifth Crusade.
Although his claim of supreme command of the crusader army was never unanimously acknowledged, his right to rule Damietta (in Egypt) was confirmed shortly after the town fell to the crusaders in 1219.
He claimed the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia on behalf of his second wife, Stephanie, in 1220.
After Stephanie and their infant son died that year, John returned to Egypt.
The Fifth Crusade ended in failure (including the recovery of Damietta by the Egyptians) in 1221.
John was the first king of Jerusalem to visit Europe (Italy, France, England, León, Castile and Germany) to seek assistance for the Holy Land.
He gave his daughter in marriage to Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II in 1225, and Frederick ended John's rule of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
Although the popes tried to persuade Frederick to restore the kingdom to John, the Jerusalemite barons regarded Frederick as their lawful ruler.
John administered papal domains in Tuscany, became the "podestà" of Perugia and was a commander of Pope Gregory IX's army during Gregory's war against Frederick in 1228 and 1229.
He was elected emperor in 1229 as the senior co-ruler (with Baldwin II) of the Latin Empire, and was crowned in Constantinople in 1231.
John III Vatatzes, Emperor of Nicaea, and Ivan Asen II of Bulgaria occupied the last Latin territories in Thrace and Asia Minor, besieging Constantinople in early 1235.
John directed the defence of his capital during the months-long siege, with the besiegers withdrawing only after Geoffrey II of Achaea and united fleets from Italian towns defeated their fleet in 1236.
The following year, John died as a Franciscan friar.

Marie of Korikos( 1321 – before 1405) was Queen consort of Armenia by marriage to Constantine III, King of Armenia and Constantine IV, King of Armenia.
She was the daughter of Oshin of Corycos and Jeanne of Anjou.
Stephanie of Armenia
Stephanie of Armenia (after 1195 – June 1220), also known as Rita, was a member of the Rubenid dynasty and claimant to the throne of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia.
Stephanie was the only child of Leo I, King of Armenia, by his first wife Isabelle.
Stephanie's maternal family is disputed.
It is believed that her mother was a niece of Sybille, wife of Bohemond III of Antioch.
Others believe that her mother was of Austrian and German origins.
Stephanie was brought up by her paternal grandmother Rita of Barbaron.
She was around ten years old when her mother died, who had not borne Leo any more children.
Around 1210 Stephanie's father remarried to Sibylla, daughter of Isabella I of Jerusalem.
From this marriage she gained a half-sister, Isabella.
In April 1214, Stephanie married John of Brienne.
John had only recently lost his first wife Maria, Queen of Jerusalem, who was a sister of Stephanie's stepmother Sibylla.
Stephanie was a bad stepmother to John's daughter, Queen Isabella II of Jerusalem, on whose behalf John ruled Jerusalem as regent.
Stephanie herself gave birth in 1216 to a son named John.
In May, 1219 Stephanie's father died.
He had made the barons swear an oath of allegiance to his great-nephew Raymond-Roupen, who became his heir.
However, on his death bed King Leo changed the succession.
He made his daughter Isabelle his heir and released the barons from their oath of allegiance.
Stephanie was still alive at the time and would have had more right because she was the older daughter.
Also, Stephanie had a son.
Stephanie's husband, John pressed the claim on behalf of his wife.
Raymond-Roupen also pressed his claim on the throne.
John left the Fifth Crusade in February 1220 intending to visit Cilicia to press his family's claim.
In June, however, Stephanie died; it was gossiped that John had beaten her to death after she tried to poison her stepdaughter, Isabella.
Stephanie's young son died shortly afterwards.
John of Brienne had no longer a claim on the throne of Cilicia.
Stephanie of Lampron
Stephanie of Lampron( ca. 1220/1225 – soon after April 1, 1249, buried at Santa Sophia, Nicosia), was a queen consort of Cyprus, wife of Henry I de Lusignan, king of Cyprus.
She was the daughter of Constantine, lord of Lampron and Regent of Armenia, by Stephanie of Barbaron.
She married at Nicosia in 1237/ 1238, without issue.
