Jean Fuinon

Jean Fuinon († after April 6, 1250 ) was briefly a Bailli of the Kingdom of Jerusalem .

Almost nothing is known about his origin and person, perhaps he came from the nobility of Champagne . He was named in the office of bailli in the government of the Kingdom of Jerusalem for the regent Henry of Cyprus in 1249 , which he presumably had not held for more than a year. He was replaced in the office of Johann von Ibelin-Arsuf in 1249 , who had also been his predecessor.

Jean Fuinon gave up his office to join the crusade of the French King Louis IX. to Egypt ( Sixth Crusade ), who had arrived in Outremer in September 1249. He belonged to the immediate retinue of the king when he was taken prisoner by the Mameluks at Fariskur on April 6, 1250 . In his royal vita, Jean de Joinville called Jehan Frumons a "good knight" ( li bons chevaliers ) who fell into captivity. In his testimony to the canonization process of Louis IX. called Karl von Anjou the knight Jean Fuinon in the same historical context as one of his brother's closest friends.
