Sibylla, Queen of Jerusalem
Sibylla (French: "Sibylle", c. 1160–1190) was the Countess of Jaffa and Ascalon from 1176 and Queen of Jerusalem from 1186 to 1190.
She was the eldest daughter of Amalric I of Jerusalem and Agnes of Courtenay, sister of Baldwin IV and half-sister of Isabella I of Jerusalem, and mother of Baldwin V of Jerusalem.
Her grandmother Melisende had provided an example of successful rule by a queen regnant earlier in the century.

Benedict I of Jerusalem
Patriarch Benedict of Jerusalem, also Benediktos I of Jerusalem, born Vasileios Papadopoulos (1892 – December 10, 1980) was the Patriarch of Jerusalem of the Greek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem from 1957 to 1980.
Leontius I of Jerusalem
Leontius I of Jerusalem, also Leo, was Patriarch of Jerusalem of the Church of Jerusalem from 911 to 928.
Little is known about his activities while he was patriarch.
Amalric of Jerusalem
Amalric (113611 July 1174) was King of Jerusalem from 1163, and Count of Jaffa and Ascalon before his accession.
He was the second son of Melisende and Fulk of Jerusalem, and succeeded his older brother Baldwin III.
During his reign, Jerusalem became more closely allied with the Byzantine Empire, and the two states launched an unsuccessful invasion of Egypt.
Meanwhile, the Muslim territories surrounding Jerusalem began to be united under Nur ad-Din and later Saladin.
He was the father of three future rulers of Jerusalem, Sibylla, Baldwin IV, and Isabella I.
Older scholarship mistook the two names Amalric and Aimery as variant spellings of the same name, so these historians erroneously added numbers, making Amalric to be Amalric I (1163–74) and King Aimery (1197–1205) to be "Amalric II".
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.
Agnes of Courtenay
Agnes of Courtenay( c. 1136 – c. 1184) was Queen of Jerusalem as the wife of King Amalric I of Jerusalem.
She was the daughter of Joscelin II of Courtenay by his wife Beatrice of Saone, and the mother of King Baldwin IV and Queen Sibylla of Jerusalem.
Isabella I of Jerusalem
Isabella I( 1172 – 5 April 1205) was Queen regnant of Jerusalem from 1190 to her death.
She was the daughter of Amalric I of Jerusalem and his second wife Maria Comnena.
Her half- brother, Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, engaged her to Humphrey IV of Toron.
Her mother's second husband, Balian of Ibelin, and his stepfather, Raynald of Châtillon, were influential members of the two baronial parties.
The marriage of Isabella and Humphrey was celebrated in Kerak Castle in autumn 1183.
Saladin, the Ayyubid sultan of Egypt and Syria, laid siege to the fortress during the wedding, but Baldwin IV forced him to lift the siege.
Baldwin IV, who suffered from lepromatous leprosy, had made his nephew( the only son of his sister, Sybilla by her first husband), Baldwin V, his heir and co-ruler, to prevent Sybilla's second husband, Guy of Lusignan, from mounting the throne.
The High Court of Jerusalem stipulated that a committee of Western European rulers was entitled to choose between Sybilla and Isabella to succeed Baldwin V if he died before reaching the age of majority, but Sybilla and Guy of Lusignan were crowned soon after Baldwin V died in 1185.
Guy's opponents tried to play Isabella and her husband off against him, but Humphrey did homage to the royal couple.
Baldwin IV of Jerusalem
Baldwin IV( 1161 – 16 March 1185), called" the Leper", or The Leper King, reigned as King of Jerusalem from 1174 until his death.
He was the son of Amalric I of Jerusalem and his first wife, Agnes of Courtenay.
