John I de Montfort (c. 1228 – 1249), Count of Montfort from 1241 to 1249, was the son of Amaury de Montfort, Count of Montfort, and of Béatrice of Burgundy.[1] In 1248 he joined Louis IX's crusader fleet.[2] Once the fleet arrived at Limassol, it was scattered by fierce storms and was forced to wait there to regroup.[2] John died of sickness, while awaiting the rest of Louis's forces in Cyprus.[2]
