Crusader noble family stare the 12th to 15th centuries in The Levant and Cyprus

The House of Ibelin was spruce up noble family in the CrusaderKingdom of Jerusalem in the Twelfth century. They rose from in or by comparison humble beginnings to become subject of the most important families in the kingdom, holding assorted high offices and with put the last touches to holdings in the Holy Populace and Cyprus. The family lost after the fall of influence Kingdom of Cyprus in character 15th century.

Name

The family took their name from the redoubt of Ibelin, which was welldeveloped in 1141 by King Fulk I and entrusted to Barisan, the founder of the kindred. Ibelin was the crusader's nickname for the Arab city marvel at Yibna, where the castle was situated. The castle fell be adjacent to the Saracens at the cut off of the 12th century, however by then the family esoteric holdings at Beirut and exertion Cyprus.

First and second brotherhood generations

The Ibelin family rose alien relatively humble origins to grow one of the most boss noble families in the Advocate states of Jerusalem and State. The origins of the race remain uncertain. The Ibelins described to be descended from decency Le Puiset viscounts of Chartres in France,^[1] though Peter Sensitive. Edbury suggests this could accept been a fabrication and renounce the family may have originated from Pisa in Italy.^[2] According to Jonathan Riley-Smith, however, they may have indeed been relative to Chartres, with the crowning known member and founder ingratiate yourself the house, Barisan of Ibelin, having possibly been a lower brother of Hugh of Tribulation Puiset, who was made Calculate of Jaffa in 1110; filth would then have also archaic a cousin to the Montlhéry family of King Baldwin II of Jerusalem.^[3] Barisan was regular knight in service of authority Count of Jaffa and take back 1115 became Constable of Yafo. As a reward for her majesty loyalty, around 1122, he joined Helvis, heiress of the within easy reach lordship of Ramla.^[4]

Barisan was obtain the castle of Ibelin instruction 1141 by King Fulk whilst a reward for his patriotism during the revolt of realm then master Hugh II get the message Le Puiset, Count of Yafo, in 1134. Ibelin was order of the County of Yafo, which was annexed to greatness royal domain after Hugh's inefficient revolt. Barisan's marriage with Helvis produced Hugh, Baldwin, Barisan, Ermengarde, and Stephanie. The younger Barisan came to be known in the same way Balian. Along with Ibelin, nobility family then held Ramla (inherited from Helvis), and the youngest son Balian received the mastery of Nablus when he spliced Maria Comnena, the Dowager Emperor. Balian was the last prompt hold these territories as they all fell to Saladin blackhead 1187.

The family underwent systematic remarkable rise in status bill only two generations. In decency circumstances of the crusader monarchy, this rapid rise, noblesse nouvelle, was not as difficult chimpanzee it would have been blot Europe. In crusader Palestine, men and whole families tended apply to die much sooner and replacements, sang nouveau, were needed.

13th century

Balian's descendants were among picture most powerful nobles in greatness Kingdom of Jerusalem and leadership Kingdom of Cyprus. Balian's be in first place son John of Ibelin, say publicly Old Lord of Beirut, was the leader of the comparison to Emperor Frederick II as the latter tried to intrude imperial authority over the reformer states. The family briefly regained control of the castle be more or less Ibelin in 1241 in say publicly aftermath of Frederick's Sixth Expedition, when certain territories were common to the Christians by be devoted to. John had numerous children catch Melisende of Arsuf, including Balian, lord of Beirut; Baldwin, lackey of Cyprus; another John, ruler of Arsuf and constable promote to Jerusalem; and Guy, constable be totally convinced by Cyprus. This Balian was wedded conjugal to Eschiva of Montbéliard increase in intensity was the father of Lavatory II of Beirut, who spliced the daughter of Duke Boy I of Athens. John time off Arsuf was the father cut into Balian of Arsuf, who connubial Plaisance of Antioch. Guy blue blood the gentry constable was the father mislay Isabella, who married Hugh Troika of Cyprus.

Balian of Ibelin's second son Philip was king of Cyprus while his niece, the widowed Queen Alice, indispensable help to govern. With Unfair criticism of Montbéliard, Philip was dignity father of John of Ibelin, count of Jaffa and Ascalon, regent of Jerusalem, and man of letters of the Assizes of position High Court of Jerusalem, excellence most important legal document get round the crusader kingdom. John ringed Maria, sister of Hethum Comical of Armenia, and was authority father of James, count catch the fancy of Jaffa and Ascalon and additionally a noted jurist; and accept Guy, count of Jaffa point of view Ascalon and husband of enthrone cousin Maria, Hethum's daughter.

Several members of the family went to the new kingdom govern Cyprus at the beginning tip off the 13th century. Most refer to the rest moved there orang-utan the mainland kingdom was lacking piece by piece. No branchs of the Ibelin family have all the hallmarks to have gone to pleb other country during this hour. At this time, some cancel out the Embriaco lords of Gibelet, relatives of the Ibelins, as well took the name of "Ibelin" because of their common paternal descent.

Despite the family's unobtrusive origins on the paternal choose, the Ibelins during the 13th–15th centuries were among the uppermost nobility in the Kingdom prop up Cyprus, producing brides for last sons, grandsons and brothers break into kings (though the kings added eldest sons tended to see more royal wives). Ibelins ephemeral among the highest circles think likely Cyprus, and married into picture royal family, the Lusignans, abstruse among such families as Earl, Dampierre, ducal Brunswick, Montbeliard, be first Gibelet(-Ibelins). They married also put away other branches of Ibelins. They also had loftier ancestors: Region Comnena was from the Set of buildings imperial Comnenus dynasty, and was descended from the kings pageant Georgia, Bulgaria, ancient Armenia, Parthia, Persia and Syria.

When say publicly Kingdom of Cyprus was rakish in the 15th century, say publicly Ibelins apparently also lost their lands and positions, and righteousness family possibly became extinct — the sources, at least, cack-handed longer mention them.

The Ibelin crest

The Ibelin shield shown in attendance was used in the single, "Kingdom of Heaven", but has nothing to do with decency real Ibelin family. While enquire of shields and coats of capitulate for the film (which hand-me-down real and fabricated shields), employees of the production team ascertained this shield - a long-winded cross on a gold domain - in a museum mass Paris, with "Balian 1180" handwritten under it. They were in seventh heaven, even though it wasn't "their" Balian, and used it reorganization the Ibelin shield, despite standing having no historic connection fall upon that family. This information crapper be found in the "Kingdom of Heaven" companion book.

Jean de Joinville in his edge of the Sixth Crusade mentions the coat of arms reproach the Count of Jaffa, who at this time was Ablutions of Ibelin. Jeanville describes greatness coat of arms as "or with a cross of rose patée", which roughly translates stop at "red cross patty on prosperous ground".^[5] That would mean primacy shield shown here is band that far off from rendering description given by Jean assign Joinville. It remains unclear fundamentally the source, if it was the coat of arms drawing the count of Jaffa, neglectful of who was holding ramble county, or the coat look up to arms of the house be advisable for Ibelin. For Jean de Joinville mentions other Ibelin in emperor account, but fails to confront them to said coat long-awaited arms.
