NOTES
1). Peter of Courtenay d. 1219 was emperor of the Latin Empire of Constantinople from 1216 1217. He was a son of Peter of Courtenay d. 1183 , a younger son of Louis VI of France. His mother was Elizabeth of Courtenay. Peter first married Agnes of Nevers, via whom he obtained the 3 counties of Nevers, Auxerre, and Tonerre. He took for his second wife, Yolanda d. 1219 , a sister of Baldwin and Henry of Flanders, who were afterwards the first and second emperors of the Latin Empire of Constantinople. Peter accompanied his cousin, King Philip Augustus, on the crusade of 1190, fought against the Albigenses, and was present at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214. When his brother in law, the emperor Henry, died without sons in 1216, Peter was chosen as his successor, and with a small army set out from France to take possession of his throne. Consecrated emperor at Rome, in a church outside the walls, by Pope Honorius III on April 9, 1217, he borrowed some ships from the Venetians, promising in return to conquer Durazzo for them but he failed in this enterprise, and sought to make his way to Constantinople by land. On the journey he was seized by the despot of Epirus, Theodore Angelus, and, after an imprisonment of two years, died, probably by foul means. Peter thus never governed his empire, which, however, was ruled for a time by his wife, Yolanda, who had succeeded in reaching Constantinople. Two of his sons, Robert and Baldwin, in turn held the throne of the Latin Empire. By his first wife Agnes of Nevers he had one child, Maud d. 1254 , countess of Nevers, Auxerre and Tonerre. For his children by his second wife Yolanda, see her article.
2). Yolanda of Flanders ruled the Latin Empire in Constantinople for her husband Peter of Courtenay from 1217 to 1219. She was the daughter of Baldwin V, Count of Hainault, and Countess Margaret I of Flanders. Two of her brothers, Baldwin I and then Henry, were emperors in Constaninople. After the death of the latter in 1216 there was a brief period without an emperor, before Peter was elected. Peter sent Yolanda to Constantinople while he fought the Despotate of Epirus, during which he was captured. Because his fate was unknown although he was probably killed , Yolanda ruled as regent. She allied with the Bulgarians against the various Byzantine successor states, and was able to make peace with Theodore I Lascaris of the Empire of Nicaea, who married her daughter. However, she soon died, in 1219. She was succeeded by her second son Robert of Courtenay because her first son did not want the throne. As Robert was still in France at the time, there was technically no emperor until he arrived in 1221. Yolanda also held Namur, which she inherited from her uncle Philip of Namur in 1212 and left to her eldest son Philip when she went to Constantinople in 1216. By Peter of Courtenay she had 10 children Philip d. 1226 , Marquis of Namur, who declined the offer of the crown of the Latin Empire Robert of Courtenay d. 1228 , Latin Emperor Henry d. 1229 , Marquis of Namur Baldwin II of Constantinople d. 1273 Margaret, Marquioness of Namur, who married first Raoul d Issoudun and then Henry count of Vianden Elizabeth, who married Walter count of Bar and then Eudes sire of Montagu Yolanda, who married Andrew II of Hungary Eleanor, who married Philip of Montfort Marie, who married Theodore I Lascaris of the Empire of Nicaea Agnes, who married Geoffrey II de Villehardouin, Prince of Achaea
