Their story begins with John de Brienne (c. 1175\/78-1237), who was the emperor of Constantinople, became king of Jerusalem by marriage, and claimed the throne of a kingdom in modern-day Turkey called Armenian Cilicia. His life, his children and his grandchildren's lives were remarkably international. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis daughters were born in Italy and what is now Lebanon; one of his sons, who grew up in Constantinople, France and Spain, was the stepfather of the king of Scotland; one of his grandchildren was the king of Germany, Italy and Sicily; and several other grandchildren settled in England, where one married a Scottish heiress and was the great-grandfather of a king of England and an English-born queen of Portugal. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Beaumonts tells the story of the places where the Brienne\/Beaumont family settled and held influence between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries.
