Wie trouwde met Isabella of Ibelin, Queen of Cyprus and Jerusalem?

Isabella of Ibelin (1241–1324) was queen of Cyprus and Jerusalem by marriage to Hugh III of Cyprus.

Isabella was the daughter of Guy of Ibelin, marshal and constable of the Kingdom of Cyprus. She married Hugh of Antioch, who succeeded his childless cousin Hugh II as king of Cyprus in 1267 thanks to her family's connections. In 1268, her husband became king of Jerusalem too. He died in 1284 and the crowns passed to their sons, first John I and shortly after to Henry II.

When her son Amalric seized power in 1306, Queen Isabella and her brother Philip unsuccessfully supported her older son King Henry. Amalric was murdered on 5 June 1310, and another son, Aimery, was proclaimed governor in his stead. But by 11 June, supporters of the imprisoned king contacted their mother, Queen Isabella, papal representatives, and Aimery's party. Aimery was outnumbered and agreed with his supporters to restore Henry in return for Isabella's promise to persuade Henry to pardon them and to ratify legal transactions they made. Envoys reported to King James II of Aragon, husband of Isabella's daughter Maria, that Isabella and Philip dominated Henry's court in the rest of his reign.

Hugo van Antiochië (1235 - Nicosia 24 maart 1284), geboren als Hugo van Poitiers, (in 1267, na aanname van de familienaam van zijn moeder, Hugo de Lusignan), was als Hugo III koning van Cyprus en als Hugo I koning van Jeruzalem. Hij was de zoon van Hendrik van Antiochië en Isabella van Cyprus, de tweede dochter van Hugo I.

Na de dood van Hugo II was er geen erfopvolger en ontstond er een dispuut rond de troonopvolging. Een van de pretendenten was Hugo van Brienne, een zoon van Maria van Cyprus, de oudste dochter van Hugo I. In deze twist werd Hugo van Antiochië door de raad van Jeruzalem gekozen tot zowel koning van Cyprus als Jeruzalem.
