In 1210, Alice married her stepbrother King Hugh I of Cyprus, receiving the County of Jaffa as dowry. After her husband's death in 1218, she assumed the regency for their infant son, King Henry I. Alice attempted to bolster her claim to Champagne and Brie, but the kings of France refused to acknowledge her title. In 1223 she married Bohemond, heir apparent to the Principality of Antioch and the County of Tripoli, but their marriage was annulled because they were too closely related. In 1229, she unsuccessfully laid claim to the Kingdom of Jerusalem against the infant Conrad IV. In 1240, she married Raoul of Nesle and the High Court of Jerusalem proclaimed them regents for Conrad in 1243, although their power was only nominal. Raoul left the kingdom, and Alice, before the end of the year. Alice retained the regency until her death in 1246. ( Full article...) |
