  === Life Sketch ===
  Conrad of Montferrat (Italian: Corrado del Monferrato; Piedmontese: Conrà ëd Monfrà) (died 28 April 1192) was a nobleman, one of the major participants in the Third Crusade. He was the de facto King of Jerusalem (as Conrad I) by virtue of his marriage to Isabella I of Jerusalem from 24 November 1190, but officially elected only in 1192, days before his death. He was also the eighth Marquess of Montferrat from 1191. Conrad was the second son of Marquess William V of Montferrat, "the Elder", and his wife Judith of Babenberg. He was a first cousin of Frederick Barbarossa, Holy Roman Emperor, as well as Louis VII of France and Leopold V of Austria. Conrad was born in Montferrat, which is now a region of Piedmont, in northwest Italy. The exact place and year are unknown. He is first mentioned in a charter in 1160, when serving at the court of his maternal uncle, Conrad, Bishop of Passau, later Archbishop of Salzburg. (He may have been named after him, or after his mother's half-brother, Conrad III of Germany.) Conrad's brother Boniface was the leader of the Fourth Crusade and a notable patron of troubadours, as was their sister Azalaïs, Marchioness of Saluzzo. Their youngest brother Renier was a son-in-law of Byzantine emperor Manuel I Comnenus, and the eldest, William, had been the first husband of Sibylla and father of Baldwin V of Jerusalem. Conrad was also briefly Marquis of Montferrat, following his father's death in 1191. In Montferrat he was succeeded by Boniface, but his own heiress was born posthumously: a daughter Maria of Montferrat, 'La Marquise', who in 1205 became Queen of Jerusalem on Isabella's death, but died young in childbirth.
  
  Conrad's ex-wife, Theodora, was still living in the mid-late 1190s, when she was having the monastery of Dalmatios converted into a convent, possibly for her own residence. A handsome man, with great personal courage and intelligence, he was described in the Brevis Historia Occupationis et Amissionis Terræ Sanctæ ("A Short History of the Occupation and Loss of the Holy Land"): Conrad was vigorous in arms, extremely clever both in natural mental ability and by learning, amiable in character and deed, endowed with all the human virtues, supreme in every council, the fair hope of his own side and a blazing lightning-bolt to the foe, capable of pretence and dissimulation in politics, educated in every language, in respect of which he was regarded by the less articulate to be extremely fluent. In one thing alone was he regarded as blameworthy: that he had seduced another's wife away from her living husband, and made her separate from him, and married her himself. (The last sentence refers to his third marriage to Isabella of Jerusalem in 1190, for which see below.) He was active in diplomacy from his twenties, and became an effective military commander, campaigning alongside other members of his family in the struggles with the Lombard League. He first married an unidentified lady before 1179, but she was dead by the end of 1186, without leaving any surviving issue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrad_of_Montferrat ======================================= Conrad Marchese del Monferrato1 M, #8237, b. circa 1166, d. 28 April 1192 Last Edited=1 Aug 2013 Consanguinity Index=0.0% Conrad Marchese del Monferrato was born circa 1166.

  Aimery of Lusignan (Latin: Aimericus; before 1155 – 1 April 1205), erroneously referred to as Amalric or Amaury in earlier scholarship, was the first King of Cyprus, reigning from 1196 to his death. He also reigned as King of Jerusalem from his marriage to Isabella I in 1197 to his death. He was the younger son of Hugh VIII of Lusignan, a nobleman in Poitou. After participating in a rebellion against Henry II of England in 1168, he went to the Holy Land and settled in the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
  
  His marriage to Eschiva of Ibelin (whose father, Baldwin of Ibelin was an influential nobleman) strengthened his position in the kingdom. His younger brother, Guy, married Sibylla, the sister of and heir to Baldwin IV of Jerusalem. Baldwin made Aimery Constable of Jerusalem around 1180. He was one of the commanders of the Christian army in the Battle of Hattin, which ended with decisive defeat at the hands of the army of Saladin, the Ayyubid sultan of Egypt and Syria, on 4 July 1187.
  
  Aimery supported his brother, Guy, even after Guy had lost his claim to the Kingdom of Jerusalem according to most barons of the realm, because of the death of Sibylla and their two daughters. The new king of Jerusalem, Henry of Champagne, arrested him for a short period. After his release, he retired to Jaffa which was the fief of his elder brother, Geoffrey of Lusignan, who had left the Holy Land.
  
  After Guy died in May 1194, his vassals in Cyprus elected Aimery as their lord. He accepted the suzerainty of the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry VI. With the emperor's authorization, Aimery was crowned King of Cyprus in September 1197. He soon married Henry of Champagne's widow, Isabella I of Jerusalem. He and his wife were crowned king and queen of Jerusalem in January 1198. He signed a truce with Al-Adil I, the Ayyubid sultan of Egypt, which secured the Christian possession of the coastline from Acre to Antioch. His rule was a period of peace and stability in both of his realms.

  === Conrad was the cousin of the Bishop of B ===
  Conrad was the cousin of the Bishop of Beauvais. Conrado was defending Tyre, the only city on the Palestine coast still in Christian hands in 1187. He was not loyal to Richard and he never forgave him for taking Cypus. Conrad tried to take back Cyprus from Guy of Lusignon. Conrad became leader of Tyre. Guy had been taken by Saladine but since Guy and Conrad did not get along Saladine released Guy as he felt that if Guy took out Conrad that would make his problem less. Conrad married Isobella and abecame King Consort of Jerusalem through her. They didn't have Jerusalem at that time but he became the King with out Jerusalem. He was already married but that was overlooked. Isobella was also married to Humphrey but she was forced to divorce him. The Kingdom of Jerusalem was to remain in the hands of Guy until he died and then it was to be passed to Conrad. He dredged the harbor at Tyre so that larger ships could land. He fortified the city and built walls around it. Conrad of Montferrat was assacsonated by the Assassons before he became King of Jerusalem and his wife Isobella married Henry of Champaign who became King Consort. Guy was sold Cyprus.

1. Title: Foundation for Medieval Genealogy -Amaury, King of Cypress
   Publication: Name: http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/CYPRUS.htm#AmauryICyprusB;
   Note: AMAURY de Lusignan, son of HUGUES [VIII] "le Brun" Sire de Lusignan & his wife Bourgogne de Rancon ([1145]-Acre 1 Apr 1205). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Gaufridum, Henricum [error for Haimericum] regem Cypri et Guidonem regem Ierosolimorum" as brothers of "Hugo de Lisegnen"[75]. Amaury rebelled against his suzerain in Poitou, Henry II King of England, in 1168, probably leaving France for Palestine soon afterwards[76]. "…Aimericus de Lisenian…" subscribed a charter dated 13 Dec 1174 under which Baudouin IV King of Jerusalem donated property to the Knights Hospitallers[77], which appears to be the first mention of his name in the Levant. King Baudouin IV appointed him as Constable of Jerusalem in 1181[78]. He supported the rebellion of the Pisans at Tyre in May 1192, was arrested by Henri de Champagne King of Jerusalem, but retired to Jaffa on his release. King Henri, considering that Amaury had thereby forfeited his office of Constable, appointed Jean of Ibelin as Constable in his place[79]. Amaury's younger brother Guy Lord of Cyprus had bequeathed his authority in Cyprus to their older brother Geoffroy de Lusignan but, as the latter had returned to France in [1192], the Franks in Cyprus summoned Amaury to succeed as Lord of Cyprus in 1194[80]. The rivalry with the kingdom of Jerusalem was suspended when Henri de Champagne King of Jerusalem visited Cyprus in 1194, the new alliance being sealed by the betrothal of Amaury's three young sons to Queen Isabelle's three young daughters[81]. "Aymericus de Lizinaco…dominus Cipri" donated property to the abbot of the Temple-Domini, with the consent of "uxoris mee Eschive", by charter dated 29 Sep 1195[82]. Amaury did homage to Emperor Heinrich VI, through his ambassador Renier of Jebail, at Gelnhausen in Oct 1195, in return being recognised by the emperor as AMAURY I King of Cyprus. He was crowned in Sep 1197 at Nicosia, where he did homage once more to the emperor's representative Konrad von Querfurt Bishop of Hildesheim, who was present at the ceremony in his capacity as Imperial Chancellor[83]. On the death of Henri de Champagne King of Jerusalem in Sep 1197, King Amaury was proposed by the German leaders, headed by Konrad von Wittelsbach Archbishop of Mainz, as the best candidate to become Queen Isabelle's fourth husband. King Amaury arrived at Acre in Jan 1198, married Isabelle and was crowned with his wife a few days later as AMAURY II King of Jerusalem. The two kingdoms were linked only by the person of the monarch, as each retained its own administrative identity[84]. After the collapse of the German crusade in early 1198, King Amaury opened negotiations with al-Adil (Saladin's brother) although the six year peace treaty was not signed until Sep 1204. Under the terms of the agreement Beirut, Sidon, Jaffa and Ramleh were transferred back to the kingdom of Jerusalem[85]. "Aymericus…Jerusalem Latinorum rex nonus et rex Cypri" granted rights to the commune of Marseille, with the consent of "Ysabelis uxoris mee…quamdam regis Amalrici filia", by charter dated Oct 1198[86]. "Aymericus…Latinorum Jerusalem rex nonus et rex Cipri" donated property to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem by charter dated Mar 1201 which names "frater meus rex Guido"[87]. The Chronicle of Amadi records the death of "il re Almerico" at Acre[88]. The archbishop of Cæsarea records the death "c purificacionem B. Mariæ" of "regis Amalrici II filium" and the death 1 Apr of the king himself, by charter dated [May] 1205[89]. On the death of King Amaury in 1205, the two kingdoms of Jerusalem and Cyprus were separated once more. m firstly (before 29 Oct 1175) ESCHIVA of Ibelin, daughter of BAUDOUIN of Ibelin Lord of Rama & his first wife Richilde of Bethsan (-[1196/97]). The Lignages d'Outremer name "Eschive et Estefenie" as the two daughters of "Baudoyn…seignor de Rames" and his wife "Richeut…fille de Gremont de Bessan", stating that Eschiva was the wife of "rei Heimeri"[90]. William of Tyre (Continuator) names her and her father[91]. The Chronicle of Amadi names "Civa, figlia de Baduin de Ibelin signor de Rames" as the wife of "Almerico de Lusignan"[92]. "Aymericus de Lizinaco…dominus Cipri" donated property to the abbot of the Temple-Domini, with the consent of "uxoris mee Eschive", by charter dated 29 Sep 1195[93]. m secondly (Acre Jan 1198) as her fourth husband, ISABELLE Queen of Jerusalem, formerly wife of HONFROY [IV] of Toron, widow of CORRADO Marchese di Monferrato King of Jerusalem and of HENRI II Comte de Champagne King of Jerusalem, daughter of AMAURY I King of Jerusalem & his second wife Maria Komnene (1172-[1206]). She is named by William of Tyre (Continuator) who records her parentage and, in a later passage, records her mother's statement at the time of the annulment of her first marriage that Isabelle was only eight years old when that marriage took place[94]. Her first marriage was arranged in 1180 by her half-brother King Baudouin IV in an attempt to heal the breach between the Ibelin and Courtenay families[95]. Raymond Count of Tripoli promoted her candidacy as queen in 1186, when he opposed the succession of her half-sister Queen Sibylle[96]. However, her husband submitted to Queen Sibylle, which put an end to the plan[97]. She became heir to the throne in 1190 after the death of Queen Sibylle. Her first marriage was annulled against her wishes and she was married to her second husband on the advice of her mother[98]. She was crowned in [Jan] 1198 at Acre as ISABELLE Queen of Jerusalem with her fourth husband. "Aymericus…Jerusalem Latinorum rex nonus et rex Cypri" granted rights to the commune of Marseille, with the consent of "Ysabelis uxoris mee…quamdam regis Amalrici filia", by charter dated Oct 1198[99]. After the death of her fourth husband in Jan 1205, Queen Isabelle assumed personal authority over the government of Jerusalem[100]. [Possible mistress: AGNES de Courtenay, widow firstly of RENAUD of Marash, secondly of AMAURY I King of Jerusalem, thirdly of HUGUES of Ibelin Lord of Rama, daughter of JOSCELIN II Count of Edessa & his wife Béatrice --- ([1133]-1185). According to Runciman[101], Agnes, Queen Mother of Jerusalem, was the mistress of Amaury de Lusignan. The primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified, and it looks unlikely to be correct considering the age difference, although it could explain Amaury's rapid rise in influence so soon after his arrival in Palestine. Agnes married fourthly (1174) as his first wife, Renaud Lord of Sidon. She returned to the court at Jerusalem when her brother was appointed Seneschal in [1176/77] and became a domineering influence over her two children[102].] King Amaury I & his first wife, Eschiva of Ibelin, had six children: 1. BOURGOGNE de Lusignan (-after 1205). 2. GUY of Cyprus (-before 1205). 3. JEAN of Cyprus (-before 1205). 4. ALIX de Lusignan (-young). 5. HELOISE of Cyprus ([1185/93]-[7 Feb 1216/Mar 1219]). 6. HUGUES of Cyprus ([1193/94]-Tripoli 10 Jan 1218, bur Tripoli, Church of the Hospital of St John, transferred to Cyprus King Amaury I & his second wife, Isabelle, Queen of Jerusalem, had three children: 7. SIBYLLE of Cyprus ([1199/1200]-after 1225). 8. AMAURY of Cyprus ([1200]-2 Feb 1205). 9. MELISENDE of Cyprus (after [1200/01]-after 24 Mar 1249).

   Note: AMAURY de Lusignan ([1145]-murdered Acre 1 Apr 1205). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Gaufridum, Henricum [error for Haimericum] regem Cypri et Guidonem regem Ierosolimorum" as brothers of "Hugo de Lisegnen"[439]. "…Aimericus de Lisenian…" subscribed a charter dated 13 Dec 1174 under which Baudouin IV King of Jerusalem donated property to the Knights Hospitallers[440], which appears to be the first mention of his name in the Levant. Baudouin IV King of Jerusalem appointed him as Constable of Jerusalem in 1181[441]. He supported the rebellion of the Pisans at Tyre in May 1192, was arrested by Henri de Champagne King of Jerusalem, but retired to Jaffa on his release. King Henri, considering that Amaury had thereby forfeited his office of Constable, appointed Jean of Ibelin as Constable in his place[442]. Amaury's younger brother Guy Lord of Cyprus had bequeathed his authority in Cyprus to their older brother Geoffroy de Lusignan but, as the latter had returned to France in [1192], the Franks in Cyprus summoned Amaury to succeed as Lord of Cyprus in 1194[443]. The rivalry with the kingdom of Jerusalem was suspended when Henri de Champagne King of Jerusalem visited Cyprus in 1194, the new alliance being sealed by the betrothal of Amaury's three young sons to Queen Isabelle's three young daughters[444]. Amaury did homage to Emperor Heinrich VI, through his ambassador Renier of Jebail, at Gelnhausen in Oct 1195, in return being recognised by the emperor as AMAURY I King of Cyprus. He was crowned in Sep 1197 at Nicosia, where he did homage once more to the emperor's representative Konrad von Querfurt, Bishop of Hildesheim, who was present at the ceremony as Imperial Chancellor[445]. On the death of Henri de Champagne King of Jerusalem in Sep 1197, King Amaury was proposed by the German leaders, headed by Konrad von Wittelsbach Archbishop of Mainz, as the best candidate to become Queen Isabelle's fourth husband. King Amaury arrived at Acre in Jan 1198, married Isabelle and was crowned with his wife a few days later as AMAURY II King of Jerusalem. The two kingdoms were linked only by the person of the monarch, as each retained its own administrative identity[446]. After the collapse of the German crusade in early 1198, King Amaury opened negotiations with al-Adil (Saladin's brother) although the six year peace treaty was not signed until Sep 1204, under the terms of which Beirut, Sidon, Jaffa and Ramleh were transferred back to the kingdom of Jerusalem[447]. "Aymericus…Latinorum Jerusalem rex nonus et rex Cipri" donated property to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem by charter dated Mar 1201 which names "frater meus rex Guido"[448]. On the death of King Amaury in 1205, the two kingdoms of Jerusalem and Cyprus were separated once more. Constable of Jerusalem AMAURY de Lusignan, son of HUGUES [VIII] "le Brun" Sire de Lusignan & his wife Bourgogne de Rancon ([1145]-murdered Acre 1 Apr 1205). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Gaufridum, Henricum [error for Haimericum] regem Cypri et Guidonem regem Ierosolimorum" as brothers of "Hugo de Lisegnen"[452].

He supported the rebellion of the Pisans at Tyre in May 1192, was arrested by Henri de Champagne King of Jerusalem, but retired to Jaffa on his release. King Henri, considering that Amaury had thereby forfeited his office of Constable, appointed Jean of Ibelin as Constable in his place[455].
