The decade which followed the capture of the city of Jerusalem in 1099 by the First Crusade, and the establishment of the kingdom of Jerusalem, witnessed the establishment of numerous minor lordships and principalities within the territory conquered by the leaders of the new kingdom. The newly appointed lords of these fiefs belonged mainly to a second tier of crusader leadership, composed of lower level knights and nobles whose chances of advancement were greater in the newly conquered lands than if they had returned with their leaders to western Europe. In most cases, little information is available on the family background of these leaders prior to their enfeoffment in the kingdom of Jerusalem. Presumably their origins were considered too obscure to be worth recording by contemporary chroniclers, either because their families were not powerful landholders in their places of origin or because they were members of junior branches of noble families who had no hope of succession to the family properties.

The full list of principalities and lordships of which the kings of Jerusalem were suzerains is as follows:

Galilee or Tiberias (Fauquemberg, Bures, Saint-Omer, Montbéliard)
Jaffa and Ascalon (Puiset, royal dynasty, Brienne, Ibelin)
Oultrejourdain and Montréal (Du Puy, Milly)
Sidon (Granier)

Caesarea (Granier)
Bethsan
10 other secondary fiefs

Beirut (Guines, Brisebarre, Ibelin)
Banyas (Brus, Toron)
Nablus (Milly, royal dynasty)
St Abraham
Rama
Toron
Scandelion
Jebail (Embriaco) (see TRIPOLI)
Caiphas (Carpenel)
Ibelin (Ibelin)
Arsur
Blanchegarde (Brisebarre)

The main source for the genealogies of these families is the Lignages d'Outremer, the first manuscript of which was written in [1265]. Many of the details of the early generations are inaccurate when compared to information which has survived from early sources, in particular charters.

Chapter 1. LORDS of ARSUR [ARSUF]

Arsur is located about 15 kilometres north of the city of Tel Aviv in Israel. It was captured from the Moslems in 1101 by the crusading army of Baudouin I King of Jerusalem. No record of a lord of Arsur has been found before the last quarter of the 12th century. It was recaptured by the Moslems in 1187, but fell to Richard I King of England in 1191. It was finally reconquered by the Mameluk sultan Baibars in 1265.

The Lignages d'Outremer name "Heloys, une des nieces dou grant Baudoyn de Ybelin, fille dou grant Ansiau de Brie" as wife of "Johan…seignor d'Arsur"[4]. The Lignages d'Outremer record that "Johan le seignor d'Arsur…sa feme Heloys", after the death of her first husband, married secondly "Vilain d'Aneui", who hanged himself by his hat while hunting in the forest of Arsur, and thirdly "Jofrei de Kafran" who was killed by a horse[5].

B. LORDS of ARSUR (IBELIN)

JEAN Ibelin, son of JEAN Ibelin Lord of Beirut & his second wife Mélisende of Arsur ([1211/12]-Dec 1258). The Lignages d'Outremer name (in order) "Bellian seignor de Baruth, et Baudoyn le Seneschau, et Hue le Fort, et Ysabiau qui fu nonain, et Johan de Ybelin…seignor d'Arsur, et Gui le conestable de Chypre" as the children of "Johan…de Ybelin…seignor de Baruth" and his wife Melisende[9]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Bethuliani, Radulfum et Hugonem" as the three sons of "Iohannem de Baruth "[10], "Radulfum" presumably being an error for "Iohannem". He was a hostage at the court of Emperor Friedrich II King of Germany and Sicily, with his brother Balian, in 1228/1229 and was promised a fief in Apulia[11]. He fought at the siege of Beirut and the battle of Agridi in 1232 in support of his father. He was appointed Lord of Arsur. "Johannes de Ibelino, dominus de Arsur" donated property to the Knights Hospitallers, with the consent of "uxoris Aeliz et filiorum", by charter dated Jun 1241[12]. Henri I King of Cyprus appointed him as bailli and Constable of Jerusalem in 1247, in succession to his brother Balian[13]. William of Tyre (Continuator) records the death of "Johan d'Ibelin sire d'Arsur, baillis du roiaume de Jherusalem" in 1258[14]. The Chronicle of Amadi records the death, at the end of 1258 from the context, of "Joan de Iblim signor de Arsulf et baiulo del reame de Hierusalem"[15].

m ([1236]) ALIX of Caiphas, daughter of ROHART Lord of Caiphas & his wife Aiglantine of Nephim (-after Jun 1241). The Lignages d'Outremer name "Helvis et Aalis et Agnes" as the children of Rohart, son of "Paganus…sire dou Cayphas" & his wife, stating that Alix married "Johan de Ybelin, seignour d'Arsur"[16]. Another passage of the Lignages names "Aalis, la fille Rohart seignor de Cayphas" as the wife of "Johan, le fis Johan de Ybelin sire de Baruth…sire d'Arsur"[17]. "Johannes de Ibelino, dominus de Arsur" donated property to the Knights Hospitallers, with the consent of "uxoris Aeliz et filiorum", by charter dated Jun 1241[18].

Jean Ibelin & his wife had two children:

1. child (-after Jun 1241). "Johannes de Ibelino, dominus de Arsur" donated property to the Knights Hospitallers, with the consent of "uxoris Aeliz et filiorum", by charter dated Jun 1241[19].

2. BALIAN Ibelin ([1239]-29 Sep 1277). The Lignages d'Outremer name "Balian" as the son of "Johan, le fis Johan de Ybelin sire de Baruth…sire d'Arsur" & his wife[20]. William of Tyre (Continuator) records that he left his wife in 1258 and returned to Tripoli[21]. He succeeded his father in 1258 as Lord of Arsur. William of Tyre (Continuator) records his selling Arsur to the Knights of the Hospital of St John in 1261[22]. The Chronicle attributed to King Hethum II records that "Palian the lord of Arsuf sold Arsuf to the Hospitallers" in [15 Jan 1261/14 Jan 1262], the same source recording that "Fndextar [Bunduqdar or Baibars] sultan of Egypt" took Arsuf from the Hospitallers in 1264[23]. He was named Constable of the Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1268. When Hugues III King of Cyprus and Jerusalem returned to Cyprus in Oct 1276, he appointed Balian as bailli of the Kingdom of Jerusalem at Acre[24]. In 1277, he was faced with the arrival at Acre of Roger di San Severino, sent as his newly appointed bailli by Charles I King of Sicily who had assumed the title of King of Jerusalem immediately after buying the rights to the Kingdom from Marie of Antioch. To avoid bloodshed, he delivered the citadel to Roger who proclaimed Charles as king of Jerusalem[25]. William of Tyre (Continuator) records the death of "Bellian d'Ybelin syres d'Arsuf" in 1277[26]. m firstly ([Apr/May] 1254, Papal dispensation before 7 Dec 1254, separated 1255, separation confirmed 27 Mar 1258) as her second husband, PLAISANCE of Antioch, widow of HENRI I King of Cyprus, daughter of daughter of BOHEMOND V Prince of Antioch & his second wife Lucia di Caccamo-Segni ([1236]-[22/27] Sep 1261). The Chronicle of Amadi records the marriage, in 1254 from the context, of "Balian de Iblin figliolo del signor de Arsul" and "Piasenza regina de Cypro figliola del principe de Antiochia"[27]. She became the mistress of Julien Lord of Sidon and Beaufort, which provoked a Papal Bull urging her to remarry[28]. According to Runciman[29], the mistress of Julien of Sidon was the daughter-in-law of Plaisance, Isabelle Ibelin, but Rüdt-Collenberg attributes the Papal Bull to Pope Urban IV in 1261, well before the time when Isabelle Ibelin could have been involved. m secondly ([1261]) as her first husband, LUCIE de Chenechy, daughter of JEAN de Chenechy & his wife Stephanie de Brie. The Lignages d'Outremer name "Lucie, la fille Johan Guauvain" as the wife of Balian son of "Johan, le fis Johan de Ybelin sire de Baruth…sire d'Arsur"[30]. She married secondly ([1277]) Eudes Poilechien, nephew of Pope Martin IV, and leader of the Angevin troops in Palestine. Balian Ibelin & his second wife had four children:

a) EMMELINE Ibelin . The Lignages d'Outremer name (in order) "Heimeline, Johanne et Nicole" as the three daughters of Balian, son of "Johan, le fis Johan de Ybelin sire de Baruth…sire d'Arsur", & his wife, stating that Ermeline was married in Apulia[31]. m ---, in Apulia

b) JEANNE Ibelin . The Lignages d'Outremer name (in order) "Heimeline, Johanne et Nicole" as the three daughters of Balian, son of "Johan, le fis Johan de Ybelin sire de Baruth…sire d'Arsur", & his wife, stating that Jeanne married "Bauduin dou Morf, sire de Stambole"[32]. m BAUDOUIN du Morf [Morpho] Lord of Stambole, son of GEOFFROY du Morf & his wife --- of Stambole.

d) JEAN Ibelin (-10 Aug 1309, bur Nicosia Cemetery). The Lignages d'Outremer name "Johan" as the son of Balian, son of "Johan, le fis Johan de Ybelin sire de Baruth…sire d'Arsur", & his wife[34]. Lord of Arsur. The Chronicle of Amadi records the death 18 Aug, in 1309 from the context, of "messer Joan de Iblim signor de Arsuf" and his burial in "al simiterio de Nicosia, con li poveri"[35]. m (Papal dispensation 22 Nov 1299) ISABELLE Ibelin, daughter of BALIAN Ibelin & his wife Alice of Lampron [Armenia-Hethum]. The Lignages d'Outremer name (in order) "Gui, Marie, Ysabeau et Marguerite" as the four children of Balian son of "Gui l'autre fis Johan de Ybelin…conestable de Chipre" & his wife, stating that Isabelle married "Johan de Ybelin, sire d'Arsur"[36]. This is confirmed by another passage of the Lignages d'Outremer which names "Ysabeau, la fille Balian de Ybelin, seneschal de Chipre" as the wife of Jean Ibelin of Arsur[37]. Jean Ibelin & his wife had five children:

i) ALIX Ibelin . The Lignages d'Outremer name (in order) "Balian de Ybelin, Gui, Aalis, Marguerite et Lucie" as the children of Jean Ibelin of Arsur & his wife[38].

ii) MARGUERITE Ibelin . The Lignages d'Outremer name (in order) "Balian de Ybelin, Gui, Aalis, Marguerite et Lucie" as the children of Jean Ibelin of Arsur & his wife[39].

iii) LUCIE Ibelin . The Lignages d'Outremer name (in order) "Balian de Ybelin, Gui, Aalis, Marguerite et Lucie" as the children of Jean Ibelin of Arsur & his wife[40]. The primary source which confirms her two marriages has not yet been identified. m firstly (Papal dispensation 2 Aug 1332) as his second wife, BAUDOUIN de Milmars . m secondly (Papal dispensation 30 Jun 1334) RAYMOND du Four (-[1343/48]).

iv) BALIAN Ibelin (-28 Oct 1333, bur Nicosia, Franciscan Church). The Lignages d'Outremer name (in order) "Balian de Ybelin, Gui, Aalis, Marguerite et Lucie" as the children of Jean Ibelin of Arsur & his wife[41]. Lord of Arsur. The Chronicle of Amadi records the death 28 Oct, in 1333 from the context, of "messer Balian de Iblim signor de Arsuf" and his burial "a San Francesco a Nicosia"[42]. m ([1320]) MARGUERITE Ibelin, daughter of HUGUES Ibelin & his [second] wife Alice Le Tor ([1304/07]-after 1343). The Lignages d'Outremer name (in order) "Bauduin, Marie et Marguerite" as the three children of "Huge, l'autre fis Bauduin de Ybelin, seneschal de Chipre" & his wife[43]. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified.

(a) [GUY Ibelin ([1320/21]-before 29 Mar 1367, bur Nicosia, Dominican church). Rüdt-Collenberg speculates that Guy and Thomas Ibelin may have been sons of Balian's older brother Guy[44]. He became a Dominican in 1344He was appointed Bishop of Nimosia 27 Apr 1357. Bishop of Limassol.]

(b) [THOMAS Ibelin (-after 1361). Rüdt-Collenberg speculates that Guy and Thomas Ibelin may have been sons of Balian's older brother Guy[45]. He was appointed Seneschal of Cyprus in 1360 by Pierre I King of Cyprus.]

(c) PHILIPPE Ibelin (-beheaded [Apr 1374/Mar 1376]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Pierre I King of Cyprus banished him from the island in 1358, as punishment for his second marriage. He returned in mid-1367 from Italy, and was one of the leaders of the 1369 revolt and was one of the murderers of King Pierre[46]. He was appointed Seneschal of Cyprus 1369, but was imprisoned in 1373 at Famagusta by the Genoese after they landed in Cyprus, and sent to Genoa. The Chronicle of Amadi records that the Genoese had the three murderers of King Pierre beheaded, dated to 1373 from the context, "el signor d'Arsur…miser Charion de Gibleth Menichioti et a messer Joan de Gauriola"[47]. m firstly (Papal dispensation 14 Jan 1340) ESCHIVA de Dampierre-sur-Salon, daughter of EUDES de Dampierre-sur-Salon, Constable of Jerusalem & his wife Isabelle of Cyprus.

She was obliged to remain in Cyprus in 1358 when her husband was banished[48]. According to Rüdt-Collenberg, she became the mistress of Jean de Moustry, Grand Admiral of Cyprus, in 1370 although the author casts doubt on the story that she was the mistress of Pietro di Campo Fregoso, Genoan admiral, and involved in her husband's death[49]. The Chronicle of Amadi reports that the wife of "el signor d'Arsur" was in love with Admiral Campo Fregoso and failed to save her husband[50].

(d) [MARGUERITE Ibelin (-after 1353). Rüdt-Collenberg highlights the difficulty of placing this Marguerite, who is described as "domicella" in the 1352 dispensation but "Domina de Arsur" in the 1353 correction. She may have been the widow of Balian Ibelin, rather than his daughter[51]. m (Papal dispensation 8 Nov 1352, corrected 25 Jul 1353) BALIAN Ibelin, son of GUY Ibelin titular Count of Jaffa & his wife ---.]

(e) [JEAN Ibelin ([1325]-after 1349). He is the "Ioannes de Axuribus" who was granted the expectation of a canonat by Pope Clement VI in 1349[52].]

Chapter 2. LORDS of BANYAS

Banyas (later known as Belinas) was located south of Jebel es-Sheikh at the foot of Mount Lebanon and was granted by Foulques King of Jerusalem as a fief to Renier Brus[54].

1. RENIER Brus (-after 5 Feb 1138). Baudouin II King of Jerusalem granted privileges to the Venetians by charter dated 2 May 1125, subscribed by "…Honfrodus de Corone, Guido de Miliaco, Radulfus de Fontanellis, Goffredus Tortus, Rainerius de Bruso, Guido Lidensis dominus, Guipertus de Caipha…Guilielmus de Buris, Tyberiadis…Ugo Joppensis dominus, Gualterius Brisebarre, Beritti dominus, Eustachius Granerius…"[55]. Lord of Banyas. William of Tyre records that, during a period of truce, the Muslims from Damascus freed prisoners captured when they took "urbe Paneadense", including "domini…Rainerii Brus uxorem" who had been held captive for two years, dated to 1135 from the context[56]. "…Rainerius Brusco…" subscribed the charter dated 1136, after Sep, under which Foulques King of Jerusalem confirmed the donation of "domum loci Bethgibelin" by "Hugo de S. Abraham" to the Knights Hospitallers[57]. "…Reinerius Brusch…" subscribed the charter dated 5 Feb 1138 under which Foulques King of Jerusalem confirmed possessions of the church of the Holy Sepulchre[58]. "…Ranerus Bruns…" subscribed the charter dated 1138 under which Foulques King of Jerusalem donated property to the church of the Holy Sepulchre[59]. m firstly ---. The name of Renier´s wife is not known. William of Tyre records that, during a period of truce, the Muslims from Damascas freed prisoners captured when they took "urbe Paneadense", including "domini…Rainerii Brus uxorem" who had been held captive for two years, dated to 1135 from the context, adding that her husband placed her in a monastery after learning that she had been raped by her captors[60]. m secondly (after 1135) AGNES, daughter of ---. William of Tyre records that, after his first wife died, "domini…Rainerii Brus" married "Agnetem…domini Wilelmi de Buris neptem", who married secondly after her husband died "Girardus Sydoniensis"[61]. She married secondly (late 1138 or after) Gerard Lord of Sidon. Renier & his [first] wife had [one child]:

a) [--- Brus . William of Tyre records that "Henfredus de Torono, regius constabularius" held "urbem Paneadem…hereditaria possessio" when recording that he donated part of the town to the Knights Hospitallers, dated to 1156 from the context[62]. One possibility is that Honfroy held Banyas by right of his wife, who could have been the daughter and heiress of Reiner Brus[63]. If this is correct, the chronology suggests that she was Reiner´s daughter by his first wife. m as his first wife, HONFROY [II] Lord of Toron Constable of Jerusalem, son of HONFROY [I] Lord of Toron & his wife --- (-castle of Hunin 22 Apr 1179).]

Chapter 3. LORDS of BEIRUT

A. LORDS of BEIRUT (GUINES)

1. FOULQUES de Guines, son of BAUDOUIN I Comte de Guines & his wife Adela [Christina] of Holland (-after 1110). He was installed as Lord of Beirut after the capture of the city in 1110.

B. LORDS of BEIRUT (BRISEBARRE)

Two brothers, parents not known:

1. GAUTHIER [I] Brisebarre (-[after 2 Jan 1135]). Lord of Beirut. Baudouin II King of Jerusalem granted privileges to the Venetians by charter dated 2 May 1125, subscribed by "…Honfrodus de Corone, Guido de Miliaco, Radulfus de Fontanellis, Goffredus Tortus, Rainerius de Bruso, Guido Lidensis dom, Guipertus de Caipha…Guilielmus de Buris, Tyberiadis…Ugo Joppensis dominus, Gualterius Brisebarre, Beritti dominus, Eustachius Granerius…"[64]. "…Galterius Berutensis et Guido frater eius…" subscribed the charter dated 17 Jan 1126 under which "Barisanus constabularius Joppensis" donated "casale Algie in territorio Ascalonis" to the Hospitallers, with the consent of "Hugonis domini Joppensis, et Emmæ uxoris"[65]. "…Gualterius Biruti…" subscribed a charter dated 2 Jan 1135 under which "Gualterius de Surdavalle constabularius" donated property to the Knights Hospitallers, for the soul of "uxoris Sibyllæ"[66].

2. GUY [I] Brisebarre (-1148 or after). "…Galterius Berutensis et Guido frater eius…" subscribed the charter dated 17 Jan 1126 under which "Barisanus constabularius Joppensis" donated "casale Algie in territorio Ascalonis" to the Hospitallers, with the consent of "Hugonis domini Joppensis, et Emmæ uxoris"[67]. Lord of Beirut. In 1127, together with Guillaume de Bures, he led the mission of Baudouin II King of Jerusalem offering the hand in marriage of his daughter Mélisende to Foulques V Comte d'Anjou[68]. "…Guido Beriti dominus…" subscribed the charter dated 5 Feb 1138 under which "Fulcho…rex Ierusalem Latinorum tercius" granted privileges to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem[69]. William of Tyre records "Guido Berythensis" among the magnates in Palestine present at the council held at Acre recorded under 1148[70].

Two (assumed) brothers. It is difficult to decide whether the persons shown below as Gauthier [II] and Guy [II] were the same persons as Gauthier [I] and Guy [I] or whether they were the sons of Guy [I]. The fact that Guy [I] is described as "Beriti dominus" in 1138 (see above) suggests that he had succeeded his brother Gauthier [I] in this capacity. However, there is no record of Gauthier [I] having died before that date and it is possible that he renounced the lordship in order to become a Knight Templar, in which capacity he is recorded (as shown below under Gauthier [II]) in 1156/69. One difficulty with this hypothesis is the charter dated 1144 which is subscribed by "Galterius Berithensis". The absence of "dominus" in this signature does not necessarily indicate that the signatory was not "Lord" of Beirut, as numerous examples can be found in contemporary charters where local lords are described by reference to the territory of their lordship without any title. If it can be taken that the 1144 signatory was lord of Beirut, two explanations are possible: either that the lordship was held jointly, not successively, by the two brothers Gauthier [I] and Guy [I], or that Gauthier [II] and Guy [II] were two different individuals. No primary source has been found which indicates the parentage of Gauthier [II] and Guy [II]. It is not possible to use estimated birth dates to get a better handle on the chronology of this family as so little is known about the approximate ages of any of the individuals. Rey, in his article on the Lords of Beirut, proceeds on the assumption that all the documents dated between 1127 and 1156 which name a "Guy de Beirut" refer to the same person[71]. In other words, he assimilates into one individual the two persons named in the present document as Guy [I] and Guy [II]. However, Rey omits reference to any of the sources dated between 1144 and 1169 which refer to "Gauthier de Beirut/Brisebarre", all of which have been grouped together below under Gauthier [II]. In the absence of these references, Rey´s solution would be appealing, but they cannot be ignored in seeking the answer to this conundrum.

1. GAUTHIER [II] (-1169 or after). [Lord of Beirut]. "…Galterius Berithensis…" subscribed the charter dated 1144 under which "Balduinus…sancte Ierusalem rex Latinorum quartus" granted privileges to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem, signing fourth among the subscribers[72]. Knight Templar 1156/1163. "…Galterius Brusebarre…" subscribed the charter dated 6 Aug 1163 under which "Anterius episcopus Valeniæ…et Bertrannus de Blanceff militiæ Templi magister" confirmed donations to the Knights Templars[73]. Preceptor of the Knights Templars: "Galterus de Berito præceptor…" subscribed the charter dated 16 Mar 1169 under which "episcopus Valeniensis et fratres de Templo Tortosæ congregati" confirmed the settlement of disputes with "Galterii canonici"[74].

2. GUY [II] (-[7 Jun 1156/16 Aug 1164]). Lord of Beirut. William of Tyre records "Guido Berythensis" among the magnates in Palestine present at the siege of Ascalon in 1153[75]. "…Guido Berythensis…" subscribed the charter dated 13 Jul 1155 under which "Balduinus…in sancta Iherusalem Latinorum rex quartus" granted property previously granted to "Eustachius Ganerius…Galterius predicti Eustachii filius" to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem, listed second among the subscribers[76]. "…Guido Berytensis…" subscribed the charter dated 7 Jun 1156 under which Baudouin III King of Jerusalem confirmed donations to the knights of St John of Jerusalem[77]. [The Lignages d'Outremer names "Pierre…seignor de Baruth" as father of "Gautier, Gui, Bernart et Hue et…Marie et Biatriz"[78]. It is assumed that this is an error for Guy [II] and that no "Pierre Lord of Beirut" ever existed as a historical person. No charters have been identified which name him.] m [MARIE, daughter of --- (-[after 16 Aug 1164])]. The name of Guy's wife is not known. However, "Maria domina Beriti" donated property to the convent of St Lazarus at Jerusalem by charter dated 16 Aug 1164[79], and it is possible that this refers to the widow of Guy [II]. The Lignages d'Outremer record that the mother of "Gautier seignor de Baruth" was taken as a hostage for payment of the ransom for the release of her sons, and died one month after her release[80]. Rey, in his article on the Lords of Beirut, suggests that Marie was the wife of the person referred to in the present document as Gauthier [III] but such a reconstruction seems less straightforward than assuming that she was the wife of Guy [II][81]. Guy [II] & his wife had [seven] children:

a) GAUTHIER [III] Brisebarre (-1179 or after). The Lignages d'Outremer name "Gautier seignor de Baruth, et Gui seignor de Cesaire de par sa feme, et Bernart, et Hue" as the four brothers of "Marie", third wife of "Baudoyn…seignor de Rames"[82]. Although other sources indicate that Marie was not the daughter of Guy [II] Lord of Beirut, there is no reason to suppose that these four brothers were not his sons. However, another passage of the Lignages d'Outremer names "Pierre…seignor de Baruth" as father of "Gautier, Gui, Bernart et Hue et…Marie et Biatriz"[83]. Lord of Beirut. Lord of Montréal 1168. Lord of Blanchgarde near Jaffa 1174.

b) GUY of Beirut (-after 1182). The Lignages d'Outremer name "Gautier seignor de Baruth, et Gui seignor de Cesaire de par sa feme, et Bernart, et Hue" as the four brothers of "Marie", third wife of "Baudoyn…seignor de Rames"[84]. Although other sources indicate that Marie was not the daughter of Guy [II] Lord of Beirut, there is no reason to suppose that these four brothers were not his sons. However, another passage of the Lignages d'Outremer names "Pierre…seignor de Baruth" as father of "Gautier, Gui, Bernart et Hue et…Marie et Biatriz"[85]. Baudouin III King of Jerusalem confirmed the donation of "medietatem castelli Paneadensis" by "Humfredus de Torono constabularius regis voluntate filii Humfredi et filiarum" to the Knights Hospitallers, with the consent of "Gualterii Berytensis de cujus feodo est et fratrum Guidonis atque Bernardi", by charter dated 4 Oct 1157[86]. "Galterius dominus Montis Regalis" donated property to St Lazarus, Jerusalem, with the consent of "Guidonis fratris…" for the soul of "Helenæ uxoris", by charter dated 18 Nov 1168[87]. "…Gauterius de Berito, Guido frater eius…" subscribed a charter dated 22 Oct 1179 under which Baudouin IV King of Jerusalem confirmed the possessions of "Petronilla vicecomitissa Acconensi, assensu filiorum Bauduini et Clarenbaudi et Hodiernæ"[88]. "Galterius dominus Cæsareæ Palestinæ, Hugonis eiusdem domini bonæ memoriæ filius" sold property "in territorio Cæsariensi" to the Knights Hospitallers, with the consent of "Julianæ sororis suæ eiusque mariti Guidonis de Beritho", by charter dated 1182[89]. m (before 1182) as her first husband, JULIENNE Garnier of Caesarea, daughter of HUGUES Garnier Lord of Caesarea & his wife Isabelle Gothman (-[Oct 1213/Feb 1216]). The Lignages d'Outremer name "Gautier et Juliene" as the son and daughter of "Hue de Cesaire" & his wife, specifying that Julienne married "baron Gui de Baruth, frere de Gautier seignor de Baruth"[90]. "Galterius dominus Cæsareæ Palestinæ, Hugonis eiusdem domini bonæ memoriæ filius" sold property "in territorio Cæsariensi" to the Knights Hospitallers, with the consent of "Julianæ sororis suæ eiusque mariti Guidonis de Beritho", by charter dated 1182[91]. In a later passage, the Lignages d'Outremer states that Julienne married secondly "Aymar de Lairon" by whom she had one son "Rogier"[92]. She married secondly (before 1192) Aymar de Lairon, Marshal of Cyprus 1206 (-killed in battle Damietta 1219). "Juliana domina Cæsareæ, Hugonis quondam domini Cæsareæ filia" donated property to the Knights Hospitallers, with the consent of "mariti Ademari", by charter dated 24 Oct 1197[93]. "Ademarius dominus Cæsareæ" granted property, with the consent of "uxoris Julianæ, eiusque filii Gualterii Cæsareæ…", by charter dated Feb 1201[94]. "Juliana domina Cæsareæ" donated property to the Teutonic Knights, with the consent of "mariti Aymari de Lairon et filii Galterii", by charter dated Feb 1206[95]. "Aymar dominus Cæsareæ" donated property to the Knights Hospitallers, with the consent of "uxoris Julianæ", by charter dated 18 Nov 1212[96]. "Ademarus dominus Cæsareæ cum uxore Juliana" donated property to the Knights Hospitallers by charter dated 18 Oct 1213[97]. Guy & his wife had four children:

i) GAUTHIER (-killed in battle Nicosia 24 Jun 1229). The Lignages d'Outremer name "Gautier…et Bernart" as the two sons of "baron Gui de Baruth, frere de Gautier seignor de Baruth" & his wife, specifying that Gauthier was "seignor de Cesaire et conestable de Chypre"[98]. Constable of Cyprus 1206. Lord of Caesarea 1216.

- LORDS of CAESAREA.

ii) BERNARD of Beirut . The Lignages d'Outremer name "Gautier…et Bernart" as the two sons of "baron Gui de Baruth, frere de Gautier seignor de Baruth" & his wife, specifying that Bernard had no heir[99].

iii) ISABELLE . The Lignages d'Outremer records that "baron Gui de Baruth, frere de Gautier seignor de Baruth" & his wife had two daughters, specifying that the older one married "Renaut le chamberlain dou reiaume et frere de Rohart seigneur de Cayphas"[100]. m RENAUD le Chambellan, son of ---.

iv) BERTHE . The Lignages d'Outremer records that "baron Gui de Baruth, frere de Gautier seignor de Baruth" & his wife had two daughters, specifying that the younger one married "Renaut de Saisson" and had "Gui et Johan et Juliene et Haymeline et Ysabiau" of whom "Gui fu pere de cestui Johan de Saisson, et l'autre fiz Johan morut sanz heirs, et Juliene fu feme de Gremont de Bessan, et n'ot point d'eirs, et Ameline fu feme de Gauvain, mere de Johan Gauvain, et Ysabel fu feme de Jaque de Rivet"[101]. Another manuscript of the Lignages gives further details of their descendants[102]. m RENAUD de Soissons, son of ---. Marshal of Cyprus [1210].

c) BERNARD . The Lignages d'Outremer name "Gautier seignor de Baruth, et Gui seignor de Cesaire de par sa feme, et Bernart, et Hue" as the four brothers of "Marie", third wife of "Baudoyn…seignor de Rames"[103]. Although other sources indicate that Marie was not the daughter of Guy [II] Lord of Beirut, there is no reason to suppose that these four brothers were not his sons. However, another passage of the Lignages d'Outremer names "Pierre…seignor de Baruth" as father of "Gautier, Gui, Bernart et Hue et…Marie et Biatriz", specifying that Bernard died without heirs[104]. Baudouin III King of Jerusalem confirmed the donation of "medietatem castelli Paneadensis" by "Humfredus de Torono constabularius regis voluntate filii Humfredi et filiarum" to the Knights Hospitallers, with the consent of "Gualterii Berytensis de cujus feodo est et fratrum Guidonis atque Bernardi", by charter dated 4 Oct 1157[105]. Seigneur de Blanchegarde 1186.

d) HUGUES . The Lignages d'Outremer name "Gautier seignor de Baruth, et Gui seignor de Cesaire de par sa feme, et Bernart, et Hue" as the four brothers of "Marie", third wife of "Baudoyn…seignor de Rames"[106]. Although other sources indicate that Marie was not the daughter of Guy [II] Lord of Beirut, there is no reason to suppose that these four brothers were not his sons. However, another passage of the Lignages d'Outremer names "Pierre…seignor de Baruth" as father of "Gautier, Gui, Bernart et Hue et…Marie et Biatriz", specifying that Hugues died without heirs[107].

e) [MARIE . The Lignages d'Outremer names "Pierre…seignor de Baruth" as father of "Gautier, Gui, Bernart et Hue et…Marie et Biatriz"[108]. Another manuscript of the Lignages records the first marriage of "Marie, la fille Pierre de Baruth" to "Guilliaume de Thabarie" and, after his death, her second marriage to "Girart de Han le conestable de Triple", naming her children by her second marriage[109], although this contradicts a charter which records that Marie, wife successively of these husbands, was the daughter of Renier Constable of Tripoli. It is not known whether Guy [II] de Beirut had a daughter named Marie who was not married to these husbands.]

f) BEATRIX [Agnes] . The Lignages d'Outremer refer to the "feme de Johan Le Tor, seignor dou Manoet" as sister of Marie, third wife of "Baudoyn…seignor de Rames"[110]. As noted above, the same source suggests that Marie was the daughter of Guy [II] Lord of Beirut. This is contradicted by other sources, including her own charter in which Marie declares herself daughter of the Constable of Tripoli. The issue is clarified by another passage of the Lignages d'Outremer which names "Pierre…seignor de Baruth" as father of "Gautier, Gui, Bernart et Hue et…Marie et Biatriz", a later passage stating that "Agnes suer de Gautier" married "Johan Le Tor"[111]. A further passage in the Lignages records their descendants[112]. m JEAN le Tor Lord of Manuet.

g) [MARGUERITE . The Lignages d'Outremer name "Marguerite" as wife of "Gremont le seignor de Bessan"[113]. This follows the sentence which records that "Agnes suer de Gautier" married "Johan Le Tor", implying that Marguerite was another of Gauthier's sisters. However, an earlier passage only lists "Marie et Biatriz" as his sisters[114]. m GREMONT [I] of Tiberias Lord of Bethsan, son of ADAM & his wife --- (-1174 or after).]

GAUTHIER [III] Brisebarre, son of GUY [II] Brisebarre & his wife [Marie of Beirut] (-after 22 Oct 1179). The Lignages d'Outremer name "Gautier seignor de Baruth, et Gui seignor de Cesaire de par sa feme, et Bernart, et Hue" as the four brothers of "Marie", third wife of "Baudoyn…seignor de Rames"[115]. Although other sources indicate that Marie was not the daughter of Guy [II] Lord of Beirut, there is no reason to suppose that these four brothers were not his sons. However, another passage of the Lignages d'Outremer names "Pierre…seignor de Baruth" as father of "Gautier, Gui, Bernart et Hue et…Marie et Biatriz"[116]. Lord of Beirut. Baudouin III King of Jerusalem confirmed the donation of "medietatem castelli Paneadensis" by "Humfredus de Torono constabularius regis voluntate filii Humfredi et filiarum" to the Knights Hospitallers, with the consent of "Gualterii Berytensis de cujus feodo est et fratrum Guidonis atque Bernardi", by charter dated 4 Oct 1157[117]. "…Galterius Berithensis…" subscribed the charter dated 26 Jul 1160 under which "Balduinus…in sancta Iherusalem Latinorum rex quartus" granted privileges to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem[118]. The Lignages d'Outremer record that "Gautier seignor de Baruth" sold Beirut, receiving "la Blanche Garde" in exchange[119]. Lord of Montréal. "Galterius dominus Montis Regalis" donated property to St Lazarus, Jerusalem, with the consent of "Guidonis fratris et Beatricis filiæ suæ" for the soul of "Helenæ uxoris", by charter dated 18 Nov 1168[120]. Lord of Blanchegarde [near Jaffa]. "Galteri de Berito, domini Albæ Custodiæ" consented to a donation by Amaury I King of Jerusalem to the church of St Lazarus by charter dated 24 Feb 1174[121]. "…Gauterius de Berito, Guido frater eius…" subscribed a charter dated 22 Oct 1179 under which Baudouin IV King of Jerusalem confirmed the possessions of "Petronilla vicecomitissa Acconensi, assensu filiorum Bauduini et Clarenbaudi et Hodiernæ"[122].

m firstly HELENE, daughter of --- (-before 18 Nov 1168). "Galterius dominus Montis Regalis" donated property to St Lazarus, Jerusalem, with the consent of "Guidonis fratris et Beatricis filiæ suæ" for the soul of "Helenæ uxoris", by charter dated 18 Nov 1168[123]. Her origin is not known. Rey suggests that she was HELENE de Milly, daughter of PHILIPPE de Milly Lord of Nablus, Montréal and Krak-les-Chevaliers & his wife Isabelle du Puy, to explain the transmission of the title Lord of Montréal to Gauthier [III][124], her early death also explaining why the title was held by Gauthier [III]'s supposed brother-in-law Milon de Plancy in 1173.

m secondly ([after Nov 1168]) AGNES, daughter of --- & his wife Helvis of Tiberias. The Lignages d'Outremer names "niece de Eschive la dame de Thabarie" as wife of "Gautier…de Baruth"[125]. Another manuscript of the Lignages records that Agnes was the daughter of "Helvis" daughter of "Hue de Saint Omer" and her husband "un franc hom d'outremer", stating that she married "Gautier de Baruth"[126]. According to Nielen, she was the daughter of "Helvis de Tibériade et d'un 'franc home d'Outremer' Miles de Plancy"[127].

Gauthier [III] & his first wife had one child:

1. BEATRIX (-after 18 Nov 1168). "Galterius dominus Montis Regalis" donated property to St Lazarus, Jerusalem, with the consent of "Guidonis fratris et Beatricis filiæ suæ" for the soul of "Helenæ uxoris", by charter dated 18 Nov 1168[128].

Gauthier [III] & his second wife had five children:

2. BERMONDE ([after Nov 1168]-after 1 Feb 1186). The Lignages d'Outremer records that "Gautier…de Baruth" and his wife Agnes had four daughters, the eldest of whom "Reimonde" married "Bertran seignor dou Marguat" and had children "Renaut et Biatris et Agnes", of whom "Biatris morut sanz heir, et Agnes fu feme de Haymeri Barlais, et orent V fiz et une fille qui fu feme de Gui de Ybelin, conestable de Chypre, mere de ces enfanz"[129]. Giving that Bermonde´s father donated property for his deceased first wife in Nov 1168, it is likely that she had died relatively recently to the donation. This suggests that Gauthier [III]´s second marriage may have taken place after this date, and logically that Bermonde must have been born after this date too. ["Renaudus III Mausoerius" donated property to the Knights Templars, with the consent of "Boamundi III principis, Bertrandi filii et (Bermondæ) uxoris", by charter dated 1178[130]. The reference to "(Bermondæ) uxoris" in this document is puzzling. The original of this charter has not been seen, and it is not known whether the name is found in that document (presumably in some shortened or otherwise scarcely illegible form to justify it being placed in brackets in the transcription). Given the likely birth date of Bermonde, wife of Bertrand Lord of Marqab, it is unlikely that she would have been married in 1178. This suggests that there may be some problem with this charter as reproduced in shortened form by Röhricht.] "Rainaldus dominus de Margato" donated property to the Knights Templars at Tortosa, with the consent of "Bertrandi filii et Bermundæ uxoris Alano", by charter dated Jun 1183[131]. "Reynaldus domino Margati" donated property to the Knights Templars, with the consent of "Bertrandi filii et Bermundæ uxoris", by charter dated 30 Oct 1185[132]. "Bertrandus dominus Margati, Rainaldi eiusdem domini bonæ memoriæ filius" donated property to the Knights Hospitallers, with the consent of "…uxoris suæ Bermundæ…", by charter dated 1 Feb 1186[133]. m (before Jun 1183) BERTRAND of Marqab, son of RENAUD [II] Lord of Marqab & his wife Agnes of Tripoli (-after 23 Jul 1217). He succeeded his father as Lord of Marqab.

3. GILLES of Beirut . The Lignages d'Outremer names "Gille" as son of "Gautier…de Baruth" and his wife Agnes[134]. 1198/1220. m AGNES de Lairon, niece of AYMAR de Leiron, daughter of ---.

C. LORDS of BEIRUT (IBELIN)

JEAN Ibelin, son of BALIAN of Ibelin Lord of Nablus, Rama and Mirabel & his wife Maria Komnene (1178-Acre 1236). The Lignages d'Outremer name (in order) "une fille…Heloys, et un fiz Johan et une autre fille Marguerite, et un fiz Phelippe" as children of "Belleem de Ybelin" & his wife, specifying that Jean was Lord of Beirut[159]. William of Tyre (Continuator) names him and specifies that he was uterine brother of Queen Isabelle[160]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Iohannem de Baruth" as the son of "Bethuliani de Guibelin" & his wife[161]. Henri de Champagne King of Jerusalem appointed him Constable of Jerusalem in 1194, considering that Amaury de Lusignan had forfeited the post after his arrest after supporting the Pisan revolt in Tyre[162]. Jean Ibelin resigned his office of Constable and was installed as Lord of Beirut in 1205, the town having been recaptured from the Muslims in Oct 1197 by Henri I Duke of Brabant[163]. He was appointed Regent for Maria Queen of Jerusalem on her accession in 1206[164]. "Philippus de Ibelin" donated property to the Knights Hospitallers, with the consent of "Mariæ domina Hierosolymitanæ et Johannes de Ibelin procuratoris dicti regni, necnon Alicis comitissæ uxoris suæ", by charter dated 15 May 1210[165]. William of Tyre (Continuator) records that "Johan d'Ybelin et Felipe d'Ybelin" were uncles of Alix of Jerusalem whom they accompanied to Cyprus for her marriage before returning to Acre[166]. He and his brother Philippe left the kingdom of Jerusalem (maybe after rebelling against Jean de Brienne) and settled in Cyprus[167], some time before Sep 1217 when they both took precedence over all other liegemen in a document of the High Court of Cyprus[168]. "Johannes de Ybellino dominus Berithi…" subscribed the charter dated Oct 1217 under which "Hugo…rex Cipri" confirmed the grant to the church of Nicosia by "Philippus de Ybellino" for the soul of "domine Marie regine, matris sue"[169]. He succeeded his younger brother Philippe in 1227 as lieutenant for the Regent of Cyprus[170]. After Emperor Friedrich II King of Germany landed in Cyprus in Jul 1228, Jean refused the Emperor's demand to surrender his fief of Beirut but agreed to accompany him to Palestine[171]. On his return visit to Cyprus in May 1229, Emperor Friedrich appointed five new baillis of Cyprus, Amaury Barlais, Gavinde Chenichy, Amaury of Beisan, Hugues of Jebail and Guillaume de Rivet, with instructions to evict all Ibelin supporters from Cyprus[172]. Jean of Ibelin retaliated by invading Cyprus in Jun 1229, defeated the five baillis 14 Jul and assumed the government of Cyprus until King Henri came of age in 1232. Amaury Barlais fled with King Henri and his sisters to the castle of Dieu d'Amour, which they surrendered in summer 1230 due to starvation[173]. He died following a riding accident, on his deathbed being admitted to the Order of the Temple[174].

m firstly ([1201/02]) HELVIS of Nephim, daughter of RAYMOND [II] Lord of Nephim & his wife --- (-[1208]). The Lignages d'Outremer name "fille dou seignor de Nefin…Heloys" as first wife of "Johan…de Ybelin…seignor de Baruth", naming also her sister "Aiglentine" as wife of "Rohart seignor de Kayphas, ayeulle de cestui seignor de Kayphas qui or est, et dou seignor d'Arsur, et pere de Agnes qui fu feme de Boverel en Gene"[175]. William of Tyre (Continuator) records that "Johan d'Ybelin…bail du roiaume de Jerusalem" was married to "la suer de Renoart de Nefin", although he supported Bohémond IV Prince of Antioch in his war with Renouard[176].

m secondly ([1209]) as her second husband, MELISENDE of Arsur, widow of THIERRY d'Orca, daughter of G[UY] of Arsur & his wife ---. The Lignages d'Outremer name "Melicent, qui avoit esté feme de Their d'Orguenes,…suer de Johan…seignor d'Arsur" as second wife of "Johan…de Ybelin…seignor de Baruth", specifying that she had seven daughters by her first husband who all died[177].

Jean Ibelin & his first wife had five children:

1. five sons (-before [1208]). The Lignages d'Outremer record that "Johan…de Ybelin…seignor de Baruth" and his wife Helvis of Nephim had five sons who all died[178].

Jean Ibelin & his second wife had seven children:

2. BALIAN Ibelin ([1209/10]-Askalon 4 Sep 1247). The Lignages d'Outremer name (in order) "Bellian seignor de Baruth, et Baudoyn le Seneschau, et Hue le Fort, et Ysabiau qui fu nonain, et Johan de Ybelin…seignor d'Arsur, et Gui le conestable de Chypre" as the children of "Johan…de Ybelin…seignor de Baruth" and his wife Melisende[179]. The Chronicle of Philippe de Novare names "messier Balian…conestable de Chipre et seignor de Baruth…[et] messier Bauduyn…ceneschal de Chipre" as the two sons of "monseignor de Baruth"[180]. Named by William of Tyre (Continuator) as the older of Jean Ibelin's sons when recording his time as a hostage at the court of Emperor Friedrich II King of Germany and Sicily, with his brother Jean, in 1228/1229[181]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Bethuliani, Radulfum et Hugonem" as the three sons of "Iohannem de Baruth "[182]. He was in Cyprus from 1229 to 1239, and fought at the battles of Nicosia in 1229 and Agridi in 1232 in support of his father. He succeeded his father in 1236 as Lord of Beirut, returned to Beirut in 1240 and submitted to Emperor Friedrich in 1241[183]. Henri I King of Cyprus, in his capacity of Regent of Jerusalem, appointed Balian as bailli of Jerusalem in 1246[184]. The Chronicle of Amadi records the death 4 Sep [in 1247] of "Balian de Iblim, signor de Barutho"[185]. m ([1229/30], declared void 1231, dispensation before 20 Apr 1239) as her second husband, ESCHIVA de Montfaucon, widow of GERARD de Montagu, daughter of GAUTHIER de Montbéliard bailli of Jerusalem, Regent of Cyprus & his wife Bourgogne of Cyprus ([1206/12]-after Apr 1239). The Lignages d'Outremer name "Eschive" as the daughter of "Gautier de Monbeliart" and his wife "Borgoigne", stating that she was the wife of "mesire Belleem, le seignor de Baruth"[186]. William of Tyre (Continuator) names her, her father and (first) husband "Geraut de Mont Agu" when recording the death of the last-named[187]. The Chronicle of Philippe de Novare names "dame Eschive de Monbeliart" as wife of "sire Balyan d'Ybelin, fis de monseignor de Baruth"[188]. The archbishop of Nicosia objected to her second marriage on grounds of consanguinity and excommunicated the couple. He was, however, expelled from Cyprus and sought refuge at Acre, before the necessary dispensation was eventually granted[189]. Pope Gregory IX instructed the archbishop of Nicosia to excommunicate "nobilis vir B[alianus] filius domini Beritensis cum nobili muliere E[chiva] filia quondam nobilis viri G[ualterii] de Montebeliardo, nobilis viri G[erardi] de Monteacuto relicta" on grounds of their 3^o and 4^o consanguinity, by document dated 5 Mar 1231[190]. A charter dated 20 Apr 1239 refers to papal dispensations, for 3^o consanguinity, for the marriages between "Sipham, gnatam quondam connestablii regni Cyprii" and "Balianno de Ybellino", and "(Aalidem) sororem Johannis de Cæsaria" and "Jacobo de Amendolio"[191]. Balian Ibelin & his wife had four children:

a) JEAN Ibelin ([1230/31]-Feb 1264, bur Nicosia Cathedral). The Lignages d'Outremer names "Jehan, Hue, Balian et Ysabeau qui espousa Henri le seignor de Giblet" as the children of "Balian…sire de Baruth" & his wife, stating that Jean was "sire de Baruth" after the death of his father[192]. The Chronicle of Philippe de Novare names "messier Bauduyn…et son nevou messier Johan quy estoit juene"[193]. He succeeded his father in 1247 as Lord of Beirut. He spent time as a prisoner of the Turks and had to sell a large part of his lands to the Knights Templars and the Teutonic Knights in order to pay the ransom demanded[194]. The Chronicle attributed to King Hethum II records that "the Turkmens captured the lord of Beirut and ransomed him for 20,000 red" in [15 Jan 1260/14 Jan 1261][195]. The Chronicle of Amadi records the death, at the end of 1263 (presumably old-style) from the context, of "messer Joan de Ibelin signor de Barutho"[196]. "Hug…roy de Jherusalem latin et roi de Cipre" institued masses for the souls of "madame Yzabel nostre mere et de Johan d'Ibelin le jeusne jadis Seigneur de Baruth" by charter dated Oct 1270[197]. His place of burial is confirmed by the Chronicle of Amadi which records the death of "Almerico de Montforte, figliolo de messer Hanfredo et de madona Civa de Iblim dama de Baruth" and his burial "in la madre chiesa de Nicosia…con suo avo signor de Barutho"[198]. m ([1249/50]) ALICE of Athens, daughter of GUY I Duke of Athens & his wife [--- de Briel/Bruyères] (-after 1277).

The paragraph in question deals with the family of the kings of Cyprus, and it is most likely that words have been omitted from the text which would clarify that the husband in question was Hugues II King of Cyprus. This is confirmed by another manuscript of the Lignages which names "Ysabeau et Eschive" as the two daughters of Jean son of "Balian…sire de Baruth" & his wife, stating that Isabelle married firstly "Huge, le fis de Henri roy de Chipre, qui morut de 14 ans", secondly "un Englés…Heimon Lestrange" and thirdly "Guille Barlais" and died without heirs[202]. She succeeded her father in 1264 as Lady of Beirut. She returned from Cyprus to Beirut after the death of her first husband. After the death of her second husband, Hugues III King of Cyprus and Jerusalem took her to Cyprus to marry her third husband, but was obliged to return her to Beirut in 1277 in view of the deathbed agreement made by her second husband[203]. Her third marriage is confirmed by the Lignages d'Outremer which name "Ysabeau, la dame de Baruth" as the wife of Nicolas, son of "Johan l'Aleman"[204].

He may have accompanied Edward, son of Henry III King of England, on his crusade to Palestine in 1271. Rüdt-Collenberg says that Hamo Lestrange of Ellesmere went to Palestine in 1270/71[205]. According to the Complete Peerage, Hamo was "prominent in the king's service until his death, probably in the Holy Land, early in 1274/5"[206]. On his deathbed, he placed his wife and the fief of Beirut under the protection of the Mameluk Sultan Baibars[207]. m thirdly (1276) NICOLAS Alaman titular Lord of Caesarea, son of JEAN Alaman & his wife Marguerite of Caesarea (-murdered Jun 1277).

The Lignages d'Outremer name "Eschive, la dame de Baruth, qui fu feme Hanfroi dou Thoron" as the wife of "Gui" son of Hugues III King of Cyprus[209]. This is confirmed by another manuscript of the Lignages which names "Ysabeau et Eschive" as the two daughters of Jean son of "Balian…sire de Baruth" & his wife, stating that Eschiva married firstly "Anfroi de Monfort, fis de Phelippe de Monfort, seignor de Sur", and secondly "Gui, le fis au roy Hugue de Chipre…conestable"[210].

She succeeded her sister in [1282/83] as Lady of Beirut. She left Beirut for Cyprus before the city's capture by Al Ashraf 31 Feb 1291[212]. The Chronicle of Amadi records that "la signora de Barutho…relicta de Anfredo de Monforte fratello de monsignor Joan de Monforte signor de Sur et de Thoron" as wife of "Guido", younger brother of Henri II King of Cyprus[213].

Chapter 4. LORDS of BETHSAN [Bessan]

The town of Bethsan or Bessan was located between the Gelboes mountains and the river Jordan[241]. William of Tyre states that "Bethsan sive Scythopolis" was the main town of one of the three parts into which Palestine was divided, ownership of which had been transferred to the church of Nazareth[242].

Two brothers, parents not known:

1. JEAN de Bethsan (-after 1129). Baudouin II King of Jerusalem confirmed donations to the Knights Hospitallers by charter dated 1129, including property donated by "Goffridus de Flaiaco et cum eo Johannes de Bethsam et Hugo frater eius…in territorio Cæsariensi"[243].

2. HUGUES de Bethsan (-after 1129). Baudouin II King of Jerusalem confirmed donations to the Knights Hospitallers by charter dated 1129, including property donated by "Goffridus de Flaiaco et cum eo Johannes de Bethsam et Hugo frater eius…in territorio Cæsariensi"[244].

1. [ADAM] [I], son of --- . The Lignages d'Outremer state that "le premier seignor de Bessan fu frere de l'aveué de Betune" and had one son "Adam qui fu seignor de Bessan et esposa feme"[245]. Ducange names him Adam and identifies him as the son of Robert [III] Seigneur de Béthune and brother of Robert [IV] Seigneur de Béthune (see FLEMISH NOBILITY)[246]. Another primary source which corroborates this information has not yet been identified. m ---. The name of the wife of [Adam] is not known. [Adam] [I] & his wife had one child:

a) ADAM [II] . The Lignages d'Outremer state that "le premier seignor de Bessan fu frere de l'aveué de Betune" and had one son "Adam qui fu seignor de Bessan et esposa feme"[247]. m ---. The name of Adam´s wife is not known. Adam [II] & his wife had one child:

- see below.

GREMONT [I] [Guermond], son of ADAM [II] [Lord of Bethsan] & his wife --- (-after 1174). The Lignages d'Outremer name "Gremont…seignor de Bessan" as son of "Adam…seignor de Bessan" & his wife, stating that he married "Agnes la fille Hue le seignor de Giblet"[248], although this confuses Gremont [I] and Gremont [II]. Lord of Bethsan 1161/1174.

m MARGUERITE of Beirut, daughter of [GUY [II] Brisebarre Lord of Beirut & his wife [Marie ---]. The Lignages d'Outremer name "Marguerite" as wife of "Gremont le seignor de Bessan"[249]. This follows the sentence which records that "Agnes suer de Gautier" married "Johan Le Tor", implying that Marguerite was another of Gauthier's sisters. However, an earlier passage only lists "Marie et Biatriz" as his sisters[250].

Gremont [I] & his wife had seven children:

1. ADAM [III] of Bethsan (-before 24 Nov 1179). The Lignages d'Outremer name "André et Gautier et Amauri et Phelippe et Richeut et Ysabiau et Estefenie" as children of "Gremont le seignor de Bessan" & his wife[251].

The Lignages d'Outremer record that "Gautier" son of "Gremont le seignor de Bessan" married "la dame de Nefin"[254]. Another manuscript of the Lignages names her "Douce, fille de Raymond Porcelet, qui avoit esté feme dou seignor de Nefin"[255]. 1220. If she is correctly cited in 1220, she must have been divorced from her second husband, assuming that his second marriage is correct as shown below. m secondly (after 1180) as her second husband, THEODORA Komnene, divorced wife of BOHEMOND III Prince of Antioch, daughter of ---. The Lignages d'Outremer name "Erine, niesce de l'empereour Manuel" as wife of "Beymont" son of "Reimont le fill au comte de Poitiers", stating that her husband expelled her and her daughter "en Romanie" after the death of Emperor Manuel[256].

According to Sturdza[257], she was the daughter of Ioannes Komnenos, son of sébastocrator Andronikos Komnenos (older brother of Emperor Manuel I) but the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified. Her first husband repudiated her on learning of the death of Emperor Manuel I[258].

Another manuscript of the Lignages names the second wife of Gauthier de Bethsan as "une dame de Romanie, qui avoit nom Thodore Lathoumena"[260]. It is not clear from these sources that the second wife of Bohemond III Prince of Antioch was the same person as the second wife of Gauthier of Bethsan. Gauthier & his first wife had three children:

Rüdt-Collenberg suggests that this parentage is chronologically improbable, although his reasoning is unclear[275]. 1165/1167. m ([1155], divorced [1174]) as his first wife, BAUDOUIN d'Ibelin Lord of Mirabel, son of BALIAN of Ibelin Lord of Rama & his wife Helvis --- (1135 or before-[Feb 1186/88]).

"Galterus comes Brene" donated property to Basse-Fontaine by charter dated Nov 1227[518], which can only refer to Gauthier [IV]. He tried unsuccessfully to retake the Duchy of Athens from the Catalan Company in 1231, his failure due in large part to the neutrality adopted by Venice in the conflict[519]. He took part in the civil war in Cyprus against the supporters of Emperor Friedrich I King of Germany. He fought at the battle of Gaza 18 Oct 1244, but was captured and taken in chains to Cairo[520].

Chapter 9. LORDS of NABLUS [NAPLOUSE]

A. LORDS of NABLUS

Brother and sister, parents not known:

1. PAYEN . Lord of Nablus. The Lignages d'Outremer name "sire Paien" as uncle of "mesire Phelippe de Naples…Henri le Bufle, et…Gui", specifying that he was "boutillier et seignor de Naples" and died without heirs[572].

2. STEPHANIE (-after 3 Jul 1155). The Lignages d'Outremer state that "madame Estefenie esteit flamengue" and that "son baron aveit nom Gui le Franceis"[573]. According to the Lignages, she married "mesire Baudoyn" after the death of Guy[574]. However, the date of the marriage of their daughter Helvis suggests that Baudouin was Stephanie's first husband. If this is correct, the couple must have been divorced as Baudouin's death is recorded after that of Guy de Milly. Her relationship with the Ibelin family, and her first marriage, is suggested by the charter dated 14 Jan 1155 which names "Philippi…Neapolitani, Guidonis Francigene, Henrici Bubali" as "avunculorum" of "Hugo de Hybelino et…fratris sui Balduini…"[575]. 1148. "Amalricus comes Ascalonitanus" confirmed a donation to St Lazare by "Philippus Neapolitanus", with the consent of "Ysabel uxore, Stephania matre, Rainerio filio, Helena et Stephania filiabus, Guidone Francigena et Henrico Bubalo fratribus", by charter dated 3 Jul 1155[576]. m firstly (divorced) BAUDOUIN [I] Lord of Rama, son of --- (-[Feb/Dec] 1138). m secondly ([1120]) as his second wife, GUY de Milly, son of --- (-1126).

1. ROHART (-after 15 Jul 1164). "…Roardus de Neapolim" subscribed the charter dated 1155 under which "Melisendis…Iherosolimorum regina" confirmed the donation of "Hugonis de Hibeline…et Balduini fratri sui" to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem[577]. "Rohardus Neapolitanus" subscribed a charter dated 16 Mar 1160 of Baudouin III King of Jerusalem[578]. According to Rüdt-Collenberg[579], he was succeeded as Lord of Nablus in 1161 by Philippe de Milly but it is not clear from the primary sources consulted that Rohart was ever Lord of Nablus. "…Roardus Neapolitanus…" subscribed the charter dated 16 Jul 1164 under which "Amalricus…in sancta civitate Ierusalem Latinorum rex quintus" granted privileges to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem[580].

Two possible brothers, parents not known:

1. GUY de Milly (-1126). Seigneur de Gourgouce, de Bodival et de Ribeauville-en-Cambrésis. He is first mentioned in Palestine in 1108[581]. Lord of Nablus. "…Guido de Milli…" subscribed the charter dated [1115] under which Baudouin I King of Jerusalem donated property to the church of St Marie, Josaphat[582]. Baudouin I King of Jerusalem confirmed donations to the church of St Marie, Josaphat by charter dated to [1115], including a donation by "…Wido de Miliaco…et uxoris Helisabeth…"[583]. Baudouin II King of Jerusalem granted privileges to the Venetians by charter dated 2 May 1125, subscribed by "…Honfrodus de Corone, Guido de Miliaco, Radulfus de Fontanellis, Goffredus Tortus, Rainerius de Bruso, Guido Lidensis dominus, Guipertus de Caipha…Guilielmus de Buris, Tyberiadis…Ugo Joppensis dominus, Gualterius Brisebarre, Beritti dominus, Eustachius Granerius…"[584]. m firstly (before 1115) ELISABETH, daughter of --- (-[1115/20]). Baudouin I King of Jerusalem confirmed donations to the church of St Marie, Josaphat by charter dated to [1115], including a donation by "…Wido de Miliaco…et uxoris Helisabeth…"[585]. m secondly ([1120]) as her second husband, STEPHANIE, divorced wife of BAUDOUIN Lord of Rama, sister of PAYEN Lord of Nablus, daughter of --- (-after 3 Jul 1155). The Lignages d'Outremer state that "madame Estefenie esteit flamengue" and that "son baron aveit nom Gui le Franceis"[586]. Her relationship with the Ibelin family, and her first marriage, is suggested by the charter dated 14 Jan 1155 which names "Philippi…Neapolitani, Guidonis Francigene, Henrici Bubali" as "avunculorum" of "Hugo de Hybelino et…fratris sui Balduini…"[587]. 1148. "Amalricus comes Ascalonitanus" confirmed a donation to St Lazare by "Philippus Neapolitanus", with the consent of "Ysabel uxore, Stephania matre, Rainerio filio, Helena et Stephania filiabus, Guidone Francigena et Henrico Bubalo fratribus", by charter dated 3 Jul 1155[588]. Guy & his [first] wife had one child:

a) GUY de Milly (-after 16 Jul 1164). "…Philippus Neopolitanus, Guido frater eius, Francigena…" subscribed the charter dated 27 Jun 1155 under which "Balduinus…Iherusalem Latinorum rex quartus" granted privileges to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem[589]. Presumably this epithet indicates that Guy was born in France, before his father left for Palestine, and had recently arrived in Palestine. In this case, he was the eldest son and born from his father's first marriage. However, "Philippi…Neapolitani, Guidonis Francigene, Henrici Bubali" are referred to as "avunculorum" of "Hugo de Hybelino et…fratris sui Balduini…" in a charter dated 14 Jan 1155[590]. This suggests that Stephanie of Rama was the mother of all three sons. This is apparently confirmed by the Lignages d'Outremer which name "mesire Phelippe de Naples…Henri le Bufle, et…Gui" as the three sons of "Gui le Franceis" and his wife "Estefenie"[591]. "…Guido Francigena senescallus…" subscribed the charter dated 16 Jul 1164 under which "Amalricus…in sancta civitate Ierusalem Latinorum rex quintus" granted privileges to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem[592]. A charter dated 1180 records earlier donations by "Guidonem de Miliaco…dominus Philippus Neapolitanus dominusque Guido Francigena et dominus Henricus Bubalus, predicti Guidonis filii" and the present donation by "Reginaldus quondam princeps Anthiochensis…Montisregalis et Hebron dominus" of property to the abbey of Notre-Dame de Josaphat with the consent of "uxor mea Stephania"[593].

Guy & his second wife had two children:

b) PHILIPPE de Milly (-1170 or after). The Lignages d'Outremer name "mesire Phelippe de Naples…Henri le Bufle, et…Gui" as the three sons of "Gui le Franceis" and his wife "Estefenie"[594]. "…Philippus filius Guidonis de Milli…" subscribed the charter dated 5 Feb 1138 under which "Fulcho…rex Ierusalem Latinorum tercius" granted privileges to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem[595]. William of Tyre records "Philippus Neapolitanus" among the magnates in Palestine present at the council held at Acre recorded under 1148[596]. William of Tyre records "Philippus Neapolitanus" among the magnates in Palestine present at the siege of Ascalon in 1153[597]. "Philippi…Neapolitani, Guidonis Francigene, Henrici Bubali" are referred to as "avunculorum" of "Hugo de Hybelino et…fratris sui Balduini…" in a charter dated 14 Jan 1155[598]. "…Philippus Neopolitanus, Guido frater eius, Francigena…" subscribed the charter dated 27 Jun 1155 under which "Balduinus…Iherusalem Latinorum rex quartus" granted privileges to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem[599]. "…Philippus Neapolitanus…" subscribed the charter dated 16 Jul 1164 under which "Amalricus…in sancta civitate Ierusalem Latinorum rex quintus" granted privileges to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem[600]. A charter dated 1180 records earlier donations by "Guidonem de Miliaco…dominus Philippus Neapolitanus dominusque Guido Francigena et dominus Henricus Bubalus, predicti Guidonis filii" and the present donation by "Reginaldus quondam princeps Anthiochensis…Montisregalis et Hebron dominus" of property to the abbey of Notre-Dame de Josaphat with the consent of "uxor mea Stephania"[601]. "Philippus Neapolitanus et Henricus frater eius…" subscribed the charter dated 1155 under which "Melisendis…Iherosolimorum regina" confirmed the donation of "Hugonis de Hibeline…et Balduini fratri sui" to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem[602]. He succeeded Roard of Nablus, Châtelain of Jerusalem, as Lord of Nablus in 1161[603]. He supported Melisende Queen of Jerusalem in her dispute with her son King Baudouin III in 1152. He exchanged Nablus for Oultrejourdain 31 Jul 1161[604]. The Lignages d'Outremer state that the king granted "le Crac de Montreal et Saint Abraham" to Philippe de Milly, except the service of "mesire Johan Goumans" which he retained for himself, in exchange for Nablus, dated to 31 Jul 1161[605].

- LORDS of OULTREJOURDAIN.

c) HENRI de Milly "Bubalus" (-after 16 Jul 1164). The Lignages d'Outremer name "mesire Phelippe de Naples…Henri le Bufle, et…Gui" as the three sons of "Gui le Franceis" and his wife "Estefenie"[606]. In another passage, the Lignages d'Outremer record that "Henri le Bufle" was "seignor dou Bouquiau et de tote la terre dou Ssaor"[607]. "Philippus Neapolitanus et Henricus frater eius…" subscribed the charter dated 1155 under which "Melisendis…Iherosolimorum regina" confirmed the donation of "Hugonis de Hibeline…et Balduini fratri sui" to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem[608]. "Philippi…Neapolitani, Guidonis Francigene, Henrici Bubali" are referred to as "avunculorum" of "Hugo de Hybelino et…fratris sui Balduini…" in a charter dated 14 Jan 1155[609]. A charter dated 1180 records earlier donations by "Guidonem de Miliaco…dominus Philippus Neapolitanus dominusque Guido Francigena et dominus Henricus Bubalus, predicti Guidonis filii" and the present donation by "Reginaldus quondam princeps Anthiochensis…Montisregalis et Hebron dominus" of property to the abbey of Notre-Dame de Josaphat with the consent of "uxor mea Stephania"[610]. "…Henricus Bubalus…" subscribed the charter dated 16 Jul 1164 under which "Amalricus…in sancta civitate Ierusalem Latinorum rex quintus" granted privileges to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem[611]. m AGNES Garnier of Sidon, daughter of [EUSTACHE [II] Garnier Lord of Sidon & his wife Papia ---]. The Lignages d'Outremer record that the wife of "Henri le Bufle" was "la suer de Renaut seigneur de Seete"[612], although this appears unlikely to be correct assuming the estimated marriage date in [1138] of Renaud's supposed parents. Another manuscript of the Lignages names "Girart et Gautier, et Agnes qui espousa Henri le Bufle" as the three children of "Huistace Garnier…sire de Cesaire" and his wife "Heimeline, la niesse dou patriarche Ernoul de Jerusalem"[613], referring from the context to Eustache [I]. However, this is clearly improbable from a chronological point of view. The most probable solution is that Agnes was the daughter of Eustache [II], the Lignages confusing the father with the son. Henri & his wife had four children:

i) HELVIS . The Lignages d'Outremer record that the eldest daughter of "Henri le Bufle" & his wife married "André de Bessan", by whom she had one son "Gremont qui fu pere de Baudoyn et de cestui Thibaut de Bessan", and state in a later passage that she inherited "Saint Jorge de Labaene et les casaus que Thibaut tient ores" on the death of her father[614]. m ADAM Lord of Bethsan, son of GREMONT [I] Lord of Bethsan & his wife Marguerite of Beirut (-before 24 Nov 1179).

ii) STEPHANIE (-after 1197). The Lignages d'Outremer record that the second daughter of "Henri le Bufle" & his wife was wife firstly "dou seignor dou Boutron", who died without heirs, and secondly of "le seignor de Gibelet, Hue qui clocheit", and state in a later passage that she inherited "Mergelcolon et Gedin et les autres casaus que thomassin de Cesaire tient ores" on the death of her father and gave these properties to her daughter Pavie[615].
