The barons of the Latin Empire of Constantinople offered to elect John of Brienne co-ruler of their minor emperor, Baldwin II, in 1229.[2] John accepted the offer and the terms of his election were included in a treaty in Perugia in April 1229.[2] The treaty stipulated that John's three sons were entitled to rule Epirus and Macedonia if he could occupy the two regions from the Greek ruler, Theodore Komnenos Doukas.[2] John and his family moved to Constantinople where Baldwin II married John's daughter, Marie, and John was crowned co-emperor in July 1231.[2]
Louis and his two brothers left Constantinople in the retinue of Baldwin II who went on a tour in Europe to seek military assistance against the enemies of the Latin Empire in 1236.[1] The French chronicler Guillaume de Nangis noted that the three brothers were still "very young".[1] The chronicler also recorded that King Louis IX of France, who was the three brothers' cousin, received them "honorably and graciously".[3] They grew up in the French royal court in Paris.[3] They participated in the King's crusade against Egypt.[3]
Viscount of Beaumontedit
Louis married an heiress, Agnes of Beaumont.[4] Through his marriage Louis became the viscount of Beaumont-sur-Sarthe in Maine and a vassal of Louis IX's brother, Charles of Anjou.[5] Being closely related to King Alfonso X of Castile, Louis and his brothers often visited the Castilian royal court where they witnessed a series of royal charters between around 1250 and 1270.[6]
