Johann von Braine
Johann von Braine , or Johann von Dreux (* 1198 ; † November 1239 in Palestine ), was a count of Vienne and Mâcon ( iure uxoris ).
Johann was a younger son of Robert II , Count von Dreux and Braine , and the Yolande von Coucy. Between the years 1218 and 1227 he married the Countess Alix von Vienne and Mâcon († around 1260).
Johann was active as a trouvère , four of his songs have come down to us. In 1218 he took part in the Damiette Crusade ( 5th Crusade ) and in 1226 in the Albigensian Crusade of King Louis VIII . 1238 agreed he and his wife selling Mâcon for 10,000 livres tournois and an annual pension of 1,000 livre tournois to the French crown. Johann used part of the money to finance his participation in the barons ' crusade , on which he probably died in November 1239. His wife sold Vienne to her aunt Beatrix after his death.
