Robert of Courtenay (died 1228), emperor of the Latin Empire, or of Constantinople, was a younger son of the emperor Peter II of Courtenay, and a descendant of the French king, Louis VI, while his mother Yolanda of Flanders was a sister of Baldwin and Henry of Flanders, the first and second emperors of the Latin Empire.

When it became known in France that Peter of Courtenay was dead, his eldest son, Philip, Marquis of Namur, renounced the succession to the Latin empire of Constantinople in favor of his brother Robert, who set out to take possession of his distracted inheritance, which was then ruled by Conon of Béthune as regent. Crowned emperor on March 25, 1221 Robert, who was surrounded by enemies, appealed for help to the pope Honorius III and to the king of France Philip II; but meanwhile his lands were falling into the hands of the rival Despotate of Epirus and Empire of Nicaea.

Some little aid was sent from western Europe, but soon Robert was compelled to make peace with his chief foe, John Ducas Vatatzes, emperor of Nicaea, who was confirmed in all his conquests. Robert promised to marry Eudoxia, daughter of the late emperor of Nicaea, Theodore I Lascaris and Anna Angelina. He had been betrothed to Eudoxia on a former occasion; however, he soon repudiated this engagement, and married the Lady of Neuville, already the fiancée of a Burgundian gentleman. Heading a conspiracy, the Burgundian drove Robert from Constantinople, he fled to Rome to seek redress from the pope who convinced him to return to Constantinople, but on his return trip, in early in 1228, the emperor died in Morea.

Married 4 times but not to Elizabeth Comber

2017-05-14 - Supposition - I do not believe John Fitzsimmons ever officially/legally married any woman in NSW. Rather, I believe he had defacto partners.

Hi Megan,

Robert FitzSimmons is 100% NOT the defacto husband of Elizabeth Coomber.

Elizabeth Hannah FitzSimmons' birth certificate shows that she was born in Quambone on the 15 Aug 1869 the illegitimate daughter of Elizabeth Coomber, 17, born at sea. The informant to the birth was John FitzSimmons, Father, Quambone.

By the time Matilda is born Elizabeth and John claim they are married and Elizabeth is using the maiden surname of Walker.

To throw further spanner in the works. An Elizabeth Comber, 17, married one John Rowley at the Coonamble Court House on 2 Jan 1867. Is it possible that Elizabeth married John but he deserted her so she started up a relationship with John FitzSimmons whom
she could not legally marry as she was still married to John Rowley???

Elizabeth may have heard that John Rowley died in circa 1886 and was able to then marry Robert Hardy???

Best wishes,
Ryan
