Peter of Vendôme

Peter of Vendôme (c. 1200–1249) was count of Vendôme from 1240 until his death, the son of Count John IV and Eglantine of Palluau. He married Joan of Mayenne and had four children, including his successor Burchard V and Geoffrey, lord of La Chartre-sur-le-Loir; another son entered the Church and died young while studying at Bologna.

Peter joined King Louis IX on the Seventh Crusade and died in Cyprus on 25 March 1249, before the campaign reached Egypt. His body was taken home and buried in the collegiate church of Saint-Georges at Vendôme.
