John II, Count of Sancerre

John II (c. 1260–1327), second son of Count John I of Sancerre and Marie de Vierzon, succeeded his elder brother Stephen II as count in 1306; he was also lord of Meillant, whose fortress he built c. 1300. For an unauthorized duel at Saint-Verain in 1308 he was imprisoned for months in Melun tower by order of Philip IV.

In 1316 he answered a summons to Paris with thirty men-at-arms, and in 1318, as lieutenant of the seneschal of Beaucaire, he was barred from royal office for violence. He died in 1327 and was buried at Bourges with his wife.
