Yolanda de Courtenay (c. 1200–1233), Queen of Hungary[1] was the second wife of 
King Andrew II of Hungary.

Yolanda was the daughter of Count Peter II of Courtenay and his second wife, 
Yolanda of Flanders, the sister of Baldwin I and Henry I, the Emperors of 
Constantinople. Her marriage with King Andrew II, whose first wife, Gertrude had been 
murdered by conspirators on 24 September 1213, was arranged by her uncle, the 
Emperor Henry I.

Their marriage was celebrated in February 1215 in Székesfehérvár and Archbishop 
John of Esztergom crowned her queen consort. However, Bishop Robert of Veszprém 
sent a complaint to Pope Innocent III, because the coronation of the queens consort 
in Hungary had been traditionally the privilege of his see. The Pope sent a legate to 
Hungary in order to investigate the complaint and confirmed the privilege of the See of 
Veszprém.

Following her uncle's death on 11 July 1216, her husband was planning to acquire the 
imperial crown for himself, but the barons of the Latin Empire proclaimed her father 
emperor, instead.

Yolanda maintained good relations with her husband's children from his first marriage. 
Her husband survived her. She was buried in the Igri? Abbey of the White Monks.
