Ki vette feleségül Plaisance of Antioch-t?

Plaisance of Antioch (late 1230s–1261) was a Cypriot queen dowager who ruled the kingdoms of Cyprus and Jerusalem as regent from 1253 and 1258, respectively, until her death. She was the third wife of King Henry I of Cyprus and the mother of his only child, King Hugh II. Hugh II succeeded to the throne as a minor, and the widowed Queen Plaisance took up government in his name. She took Balian of Arsuf as her second husband in 1254, but separated from him in 1255. She attempted to marry herself and her son into the English royal family, but did not succeed. In 1258 she travelled to Acre with her son and was recognized as his bailli in his capacity as titular regent for his kinsman King Conradin. As such, she intervened in the war waged by the Venetians and their allies against the Genoese and their allies, supporting the former. She was sharply criticised by the Church for an adulterous affair and died soon after.

I. Henrik ciprusi király (Kövér Henrik, 1217. május 3. – 1254. január 18.) a Ciprusi Királyság uralkodója volt. Gyermekként került Ciprus trónjára, és uralkodásának hosszú időn át meghatározó témája volt a II. Frigyes német-római császár erőszakos ciprusi és jeruzsálemi beavatkozása elleni küzdelem, illetve az abból kibontakozó háború. Három házasságából mindössze egy gyermek született, aki II. Hugó néven követte a trónon.

Balian of Ibelin (1239 – 29 September 1277) was the Lord of Arsuf from 1258 until the early 1260s (probably 1261), when he leased it to the Knights Hospitaller. He was the son and successor of John, Lord of Arsuf and Constable of Jerusalem. At the time when he leased/rented it to the hospital, his fief of Arsuf was worth six knights' fees and twenty sergeants'; the Hospital took up his obligations with the exception of the servise de cors.

He was married to Plaisance of Antioch from 1254 until their divorce in 1258, after which he moved from Antioch to Tripoli. He was created Constable of Jerusalem like his father had been in 1268 and held that post until his death. Hugh III of Cyprus and Jerusalem appointed Balian bailiff, effectively regent, of the kingdom upon returning to Cyprus in October 1276. Hugh's claim to the royal title, however, was disputed by Charles I of Naples, who sent Roger of Sanseverino to Acre as his bailiff in 1277.

Balian initially refused to admit Roger into the citadel until papers signed by Charles, Mary of Antioch, and Pope John XXI were produced and the Knights Hospitallers and John of Vercelli, Patriarch of Jerusalem, had refused to intervene. To avoid war, he allowed Roger in and Charles was proclaimed king.

He died on 29 September 1277, the day being known from a single copy of the Annales de Terre Sainte. He was succeeded by his son John, titular Lord of Arsuf (1277–1309), who married Isabella of Ibelin, daughter of Balian seneschal of Cyprus.
