Jolanthe (Nevers)

Jolanthe von Châtillon (* around 1222 , † 1254 ) was Countess of Nevers , Auxerre and Tonnerre . She was the daughter of Guido I , Count of Saint-Pol , and Agnes of Donzy , Countess of Nevers, Auxerre and Tonnerre.

She married (the marriage contract dates from May 30, 1228) Archambault IX. , Lord of Bourbon . Your children were:

• Mathilde II (* probably 1234; † 1262), 1257 Dame de Bourbon, Countess of Nevers, Auxerre and Tonnerre; ∞ February 1248 Odo , heir duke of Burgundy , 1257–1262 Count of Nevers, Auxerre and Tonnerre, † August 4, 1266 in Akkon ( Elder House of Burgundy )
• Agnes (* probably 1237, † September 7, 1288), 1249 Dame de Bourbon; ∞ February I, 1248 John of Burgundy, 1248 Lord of Bourbon, † September 29, 1268 ( Elder House of Burgundy ); ∞ II. 1277 Robert II. , Count of Artois , 1285–1289 regent of Naples, † July 11, 1302 in the battle of the Spurs ( House of France-Artois )

Archambault IX. took part in the crusade of Louis IX. against Egypt ( Sixth Crusade ), who started in Aigues Mortes in August 1248 , but died in January 1249 on the way to Cyprus. Previously, in February 1248, he had married his daughters Mathilde and Agnes, in the older house of Burgundy. Mathilde received the property in Burgundy (Nevers, Auxerre, Tonnerre), for which she had to wait until the death of her great-grandmother Mathilde von Courtenay in 1257, and the hereditary prince of Burgundy, Agnes das Bourbonnais and his younger brother Johann (who apparently ruled the Bourbonnais could start in the year of the wedding and Archambault's departure for the crusade). Agnes' daughter from her first marriage, Beatrix , brought Bourbon to the Capetians through her own marriage to Robert von Clermont : Beatrix and Robert are the first parents of the Bourbons .
