AGNES de Courtenay (1133-[Sep 1184/1 Feb 1185]). William of Tyre records that "Joscelinus junior, ex sorore Levonis Armeni" and his wife "Wilelmi de Saona viduam…Beatricem" had "filiam" who firstly married "Rainaldi de Mares" and secondly "domini Almarici comitis Joppensis, qui postea fuit Hierosolymatorum rex"[66].
The Patriarch of Jerusalem refused to confirm her second marriage after the accession of her husband as king of Jerusalem as the parties were third cousins, so within the prohibited degrees, and insisted on annulment as a condition of Amaury's accession as king. The king agreed, but insisted that the legitimacy and rights of inheritance of his two children by Agnes be recognised[67].
Agnes returned to the court at Jerusalem when her brother was appointed Seneschal in [1176/77], and became a domineering influence over her two children by her second husband[68].
William of Tyre recounts the background to the annulment of her second marriage and records her third marriage, after her second husband's remarriage, as well as her fourth marriage[69].
The Lignages records that "Hue de Ybelin" was "baron de Agnes qui avoit esté feme dou rei Amauri", stating that he died without heirs[70]. Another manuscript of the Lignages expands by naming her "Agnes, la fille au conte Jocelin de Rohais"[71]. The Lignages d'Outremer name "Agnes, qui avoit esté feme dou rei Amauri et Hue de Ybelin…" as wife of "Renaut de Garnier"[72].
m firstly RENAUD of Marash, son of --- (-killed in battle Inab 28 Jun 1149). His death in battle with Raymond de Poitiers Prince of Antioch is recorded by William of Tyre, who at the same time specifies that he was the son-in-law of Joscelin Prince of Edessa[73].
m secondly ([1158], annulled 1162) as his first wife, AMAURY of Jerusalem, son of FOULQUES King of Jerusalem Comte d'Anjou & his second wife Mélisende Queen of Jerusalem (1136-Jerusalem 11 Jul 1174). He succeeded his brother in 1162 as AMAURY I King of Jerusalem, his succession being confirmed by election only after the annulment of his marriage[74].
m thirdly (after 1162) HUGUES of Ibelin Lord of Rama, son of BALIAN of Ibelin Lord of Rama & his wife Helvis (1133 or before-1169/71). William of Tyre names him and his father when he records this marriage[75].
m fourthly (1174) as his first wife, RENAUD Lord of Sidon, son of GERARD Garnier Lord of Sidon & his wife Agnes of Bures-Tiberias (-[Nov 1200/1204]). William of Tyre names him and his father when he records this marriage and the couple's divorce on the grounds of consanguinity (although he does not provide the factual basis for this claim)[76].
