Answer:
aimery -lrb- latin '' aimericus '' ; 1145 -- 1 april 1205 -rrb- , born aimery of lusignan , was the first king of cyprus -lrb- 1194 -- 1205 -rrb- and tenth king of jerusalem -lrb- 1197 -- 1205 -rrb- .he was an older brother of guy of lusignan .older scholarship mistook the names aimery and amalric -lrb- amaury -rrb- as variant spellings of the same name , so these historians erroneously added numbers for kings amalric i -lrb- 1163 -- 74 -rrb- and amalric ii -lrb- actually aimery -rrb- .now scholars recognize that the two names were not the same and no longer add the number for either king .confusion between the two names was common even among contemporaries .the lusignan family was noted for its many crusaders .aimery and guy were sons of hugh viii of lusignan , who had himself campaigned in the holy land in the 1160s .after being expelled from poitou by their overlord , richard the lion-hearted , for the murder of patrick of salisbury , 1st earl of salisbury , aimery arrived in palestine c. 1174 , guy possibly later .aimery married eschiva , daughter of baldwin of ibelin .he then took service with agnes of courtenay , wife of reginald of sidon and mother of baldwin iv of jerusalem .the pro-ibelin '' chronicle of ernoul '' later claimed that he was her lover , but it is likely that she and baldwin iv were attempting to separate him from the political influence of his wife 's family .he was appointed constable of jerusalem soon after 22 april 1179 .guy married the king 's widowed older sister , sibylla of jerusalem in 1180 , and so gained a claim to the kingdom of jerusalem .aimery was among those captured with his brother after the disastrous battle of hattin in 1187 .in 1194 , on the death of guy , he became king of cyprus .by his first wife , eschiva of ibelin , he was the father of hugh i of cyprus and was crowned in nicosia on 22 september 1197 .after eschiva 's death in october 1197 he married isabella , the daughter of amalric of jerusalem by his second marriage , and became king of...
