General Notes:
Yolande of Brienne inherited the Kingdom of Jerusalem as an infant in 1212.
She was the daughter of John of Brienne and Maria of Montferrat. Because John did not have a direct claim on the throne, Yolande succeeded Maria upon Maria's death in 1212. John ruled as regent until 1225, when she married Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor. Frederick claimed the kingdom for himself; when Yolande died after giving birth to their son Conrad in 1228, Frederick ruled as regent, settling a truce with the Muslims in 1229 during the Sixth Crusade.
Noted events in her life were:
• She was a Queen of Jerusalem.
Yolande married Frederick II of Germany Hohenstaufen, son of Henry VI of Sicily Hohenstaufen and Constance of Sicily, in 1225. (Frederick II of Germany Hohenstaufen was born on 26 Dec 1194 in Jesi, Ancona, Papal States and died on 13 Dec 1250 in Castel Fiorentino, Apulia, Kingdom of Sicily.)
