 Baldwin II of Constantinople
Baldwin II (1217—1273), emperor of the Latin Empire of Constantinople, was a younger son of Yolande, sister of Baldwin I.
Her husband, Peter of Courtenay, was third emperor of the Latin Empire (also known as Romania, not to be confused with modern Romania), and had been followed by his son Robert, on whose death in 1228 the succession passed to Baldwin; a boy of eleven years old.
The barons chose John of Brienne (titular king of the Kingdom of Jerusalem) as emperor-regent for life; Baldwin was to rule the Asiatic possessions of the empire when he reached the age of twenty, was to marry John’s daughter Mary, and on John’s death to enjoy the full imperial sovereignty.
