from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The coat of arms of the Brienne von Ramerupt.

Érard II of Brienne-Ramerupt also Érard of Brienne († February 8, 1250 in al-Mansura ) was a lord of Ramerupt and knight of the sixth crusade (1248-1250) from the House of Brienne . He was the eldest son of Erard I of Brienne-Ramerupt († 1246) and the Philippa of Champagne, from whom he inherited the castle of Ramerupt in Champagne .

Together with his younger brother Heinrich, who had inherited Venizy from his father, Érard took on King Louis IX's crusade . (Saint Louis) to Egypt . The brother died in the year 1248/49 during the crossing to Cyprus or shortly after arriving there. But Erard took part in the attack on the Egyptian coast in June 1249. He was supposed to share a boat with Jean de Joinville for the translation from Cyprus to Egypt , until the latter got his own boat from the mistress of Beirut . On February 8, 1250 he took part in the fateful attack of Robert von Artois on al-Mansura, in which the entire advance guard of the army was destroyed; Erard was among the dead.

Because he had no children, the Seigneurie Ramerupt inherited his sister Isabella and her husband Count Heinrich V von Grandpré.
