Who was Baldwin of Ibelin 's spouse after Oct 1180?
Baldwin of Ibelin Baldwin of Ibelin , also known as Baldwin II of Ramla ( French : Baudouin dIbelin , early 1130s – c . 1187 or 1186/1188 ) , was an important noble of the Kingdom of Jerusalem in the 12th century and was lord of Ramla from 1169-1186 . He was the second son of Barisan of Ibelin , and was the younger brother of Hugh of Ibelin and older brother of Balian of Ibelin . He first appears in the historical record as a witness to charters in 1148 . In 1156 , he may have planned to kill Ahmad ib . Muhammad ibn Qudama of Jammain . Ahmads sermons had been gaining support throughout the region but after being warned of the threat against his life , he fled to Damascus , followed by other members of the Hanbali group . After the death of his eldest brother Hugh ( third husband of Agnes of Courtenay ) in 1169 , the castle of Ibelin passed to Baldwin , who remained Lord of Mirabel and Ramla and passed Ibelin to his younger brother Balian . He introduced the Lusignan family to court in 1174 , in the person of Amalric of Lusignan , who had married his daughter Eschiva . Baldwin and Balian supported Raymond III of Tripoli over Miles of Plancy as regent for King Baldwin IV in 1174 , and in 1177 the brothers were present at the Battle of Montgisard . It is suspected that , after the death of his second wife Isabella , in 1177 , he became Raymond of Tripolis favoured candidate to marry the widowed Princess Sibylla of Jerusalem . His brother Balian had recently married her stepmother , Dowager Queen Maria Comnena . The Chronicle of Ernoul , or Old French Continuation of William of Tyre , partly written by a former squire of Balian , but thirteenth-century in its current form , claims that Baldwin and Sibylla had been in love and exchanged letters during Baldwins captivity , but this is highly questionable . Baldwin was captured in battle at Marj Uyun in 1179 , along with Odo de St Amand , Grand Master of the Templars , and Raymond of Tripolis stepson , Hugh of Tiberias . Baldwin was ransomed by Byzantine emperor Manuel I Comnenus , and later in 1180 he visited Constantinople . Supposedly , the emperor sat him in a chair and covered him up to his head in the gold coins that were to be used as his ransom money . During his stay in Constantinople , the emperor died . Baldwin was in Jerusalem at the time of Sibyllas wedding in 1180 . Raymond of Tripoli seems to have been planning a coup to marry Sibylla to Baldwin , but the king needed to marry her to a non-native , in order gain support for another crusade from the west . She was married to Guy of Lusignan , younger brother of Baldwin of Ibelins son-in-law Amalric . That same year , the king betrothed his younger half-sister Isabella of Jerusalem , Balians stepdaughter , to Humphrey IV of Toron , to further reduce the Ibelins influence . In 1183 he supported Raymond against Guy , who was by now regent for the ailing Baldwin IV . Lord Baldwin was among the barons who advised the king to crown Sibyllas son Baldwin V in 1183 , while Baldwin IV was still alive ; this was an attempt to prevent Guy from succeeding as king . Baldwin V became sole king while still a child in 1185 , and when the young king died in 1186 , Sibylla was crowned queen with Guy as her consort . The Ibelins and Raymond favoured the accession of Isabella , but Humphrey refused to be crowned and cause a civil war , and instead swore allegiance to Sibylla and Guy . All the other barons of the kingdom paid homage to Guy as well , except for Raymond and Baldwin . Baldwin placed his young son Thomas under the care of his brother Balian , and exiled himself to the Principality of Antioch , where he was welcomed with great fanfare . Baldwin considered Guy a madman and a fool , and refused to pay homage because his father had not paid homage to Guys father ( i.e. , regarding Guy as an upstart incomer , where Baldwin was a native baron ) . He refused to return to Jerusalem to assist Guy against Saladin , and probably died in his self-imposed exile in 1187 . Family . Baldwin of Ibelin married three times . His wives were : 1 . Richilde de Bethsan , before or in 1157 , divorced and annulled 1174 . They had two children : - Thomas dIbelin ( before 1175 – in or c . 1188 ) , Lord of Ramla , unmarried and without issue - Stephanie dIbelin - Eschive dIbelin ( c . 1160 – Cyprus in Winter , 1196/1197 ) , married Amalric of Lusignan before October 29 , 1175 ; Queen-consort of Cyprus ( 1194-1196 ) , mother of Hugh I of Cyprus . ( After her death , Amalric married Isabella of Jerusalem and became King of Jerusalem. ) 2 . Isabelle or Elizabeth Gothman , married 1175 , d . 1177 or 1178 , no surviving issue . 3 . Marie , daughter of Renier , Constable of Tripoli , m . after April , 1180 , d . after 1228 , no surviving issue . Another Baldwin of Ibelin was the son of this Baldwins nephew John of Ibelin , the Old Lord of Beirut . Sources . - William of Tyre , A History of Deeds Done Beyond the Sea . E . A . Babcock and A .
