  === Life Sketch ===
  Simon de Joinville, né vers 1175 et mort en 1233, est seigneur de Sailly puis de Joinville au début du xiiie siècle. Il est le quatrième fils de Geoffroy IV et de son épouse Helvide de Dampierre. Il succède à son frère aîné Geoffroy V lorsque ce dernier meurt en Terre sainte durant la quatrième croisade et devient à son tour seigneur de Joinville jusqu'à sa mort.
  
  Il épouse en premières noces Ermengarde de Montclair, qui lui apporte en dot la seigneurie de Montclair, dans le diocèse de Trèves, avec laquelle il a trois enfants. Peu après, il guerroie aux côtés du duc de Lorraine Ferry II contre le comte de Bar Thiébaut Ier.
  
  Il prend ensuite part à la croisade des albigeois et combat certainement aux sièges de Béziers et de Carcassonne. De retour en Champagne, il jure allégeance à la comtesse régente de Champagne Blanche de Navarre et son fils, le futur Thibaut IV de Champagne, en prévention contre les prétentions prochaines de son cousin Érard de Brienne, mais se rallie finalement à la cause de ce dernier lors de la guerre de succession de Champagne. Mais il est défait par les forces réunies du comté de Champagne et du duché de Bourgogne et contraint de se soumettre.
  
  Il prend peu après la décision de rejoindre la cinquième croisade et participe au siège de Damiette où il retrouve son cousin Jean de Brienne, désormais roi de Jérusalem. Une fois la ville tombée, il retourne à Joinville où était entre-temps décédée son épouse.
  
  Il épouse par la suite en secondes noces Béatrix d'Auxonne qui lui apporte le château de Marnay en dot. Ils sont les parents de six autres enfants.
  
  Puis, il accompagne le comte Thibaut en Occitanie afin de continuer la croisade des albigeois où il participe au siège d'Avignon. Mais il n'y reste que quarante jours et repart avec son suzerain dans ses états.
  
  Quelques années plus tard, il soutient le comte de Champagne contre une ligue de puissants barons unis contre lui. Il effectue alors en représailles une chevauchée en Barrois. Par la suite, il doit réunir d'urgence ses vassaux afin d'aller secourir la ville de Troyes contre les ennemis du comte.
  
  Simon de Joinville meurt en 1233 et est inhumé dans l'abbaye de Clairvaux. Il laisse son fils et héritier, Jean de Joinville, futur chroniqueur de la vie de Saint Louis, encore mineur sous la tutelle de sa veuve Béatrix d'Auxonne.
  
  Simon de Joinville, born around 1175 and died in 1233, was lord of Sailly and then of Joinville at the beginning of the xiii century. He was the fourth son of Geoffroy IV and his wife Helvide de Dampierre. He succeeded his elder brother Geoffroy V when the latter died in the Holy Land during the fourth crusade and became in turn lord of Joinville until his death.
  
  He married Ermengarde de Montclair, who gave him the seigneury of Montclair in the diocese of Trier, with whom he had three children. Shortly afterwards, he fought alongside the Duke of Lorraine Ferry II against the Count of Bar Thiébaut I.
  
  He then took part in the Albigensian crusade and certainly fought at the sieges of Béziers and Carcassonne. Back in Champagne, he swore allegiance to the regent countess of Champagne Blanche de Navarre and her son, the future Thibaut IV of Champagne, in prevention against the next claims of his cousin Érard de Brienne, but finally rallied to the cause of the latter during the war of succession of Champagne. But he was defeated by the combined forces of the county of Champagne and the duchy of Burgundy and forced to submit.
  
  Shortly afterwards, he decided to join the Fifth Crusade and took part in the siege of Damietta, where he met up with his cousin Jean de Brienne, now King of Jerusalem. Once the city fell, he returned to Joinville where his wife had died.
  
  He then married Beatrix d'Auxonne, who brought him the castle of Marnay as a dowry. They were the parents of six other children.
  
  Then, he accompanied Count Thibaut to Occitania in order to continue the Albigensian crusade where he participated in the siege of Avignon. But he stayed only forty days and left with his suzerain in his states.
  
  A few years later, he supported the Count of Champagne against a league of powerful barons united against him. In retaliation, he went on a ride in the Barrois. Thereafter, he had to urgently gather his vassals in order to rescue the city of Troyes against the Count's enemies.
  
  Simon de Joinville died in 1233 and was buried in the abbey of Clairvaux. He left his son and heir, Jean de Joinville, future chronicler of the life of Saint Louis, still a minor under the guardianship of his widow Béatrix d'Auxonne.
