Theobald III, Count of Brie

Other Events and Attributes:

• Title(s): 1197; He succeeded as Count of Champagne in 1197 upon the death of his older brother Henry II.
• Miscellaneous: 1198; In 1198, Pope Innocent III called the Fourth Crusade. There was little enthusiasm for the crusade at first, but on 28 November 1199 various nobles of France gathered at Theobald's court for a tournament (in his castle at Ecry-sur-Aisne), including the preacher Fulk of Neuilly. There, they "took the cross", and elected Theobald their leader, but he died in 1201 and was replaced by Boniface I, Marquess of Montferrat.
