Maria was the daughter of Queen Isabella Of Jerusalem by her second husband Conrad I , and heiress, on her mother's death, of the Kingdom Of Jerusalem . Because John did not have a direct claim on the throne, Yolande succeeded her mother Maria, who died giving birth to her in 1212. John ruled as regent until 1225 , when Yolande married Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor with the encouragement of Pope Honorius III , who hoping by this bond to attach the emperor firmly to the Sixth Crusade .
