Crusaders, Kingdom of Jerusalem, John of Brienne, 1210 - 1225
|Malloy| |Crusader| |Collection|, |Crusaders,| |Kingdom| |of| |Jerusalem,| |John| |of| |Brienne,| |1210| |-| |1225|, From the collection of Alex G. Malloy, former dealer for 40 years and co-author of Coins of the Crusader States. Ex A.J. Seltman Collection.

John of Brienne (c. 1170 ? 27 March 1237) was a French nobleman who became King of Jerusalem by marriage, and was later invited to become Latin Emperor of Constantinople.

Damietta, Egypt, about two miles from the sea on the Nile river, fell to John after a siege lasting from May 1218 to November 1219. Success was followed by plundering and the reconsecration of the principal mosque as a cathedral. But the city was held only until late summer 1221, when it was surrendered to the Sultan after a crushing defeat.
