Agnès DE COURTENAY

   Research Notes:

William of Tyre records that "Joscelinus junior, ex sorore Levonis Armeni" and his wife "Wilelmi de Saona viduam…Beatricem" had "filiam" who firstly married "Rainaldi de Mares" and secondly "domini Almarici comitis Joppensis, qui postea fuit Hierosolymatorum rex". The Patriarch of Jerusalem refused to confirm her second marriage after the accession of her husband as king of Jerusalem as the parties were third cousins, so within the prohibited degrees, and insisted on annulment as a condition of Amaury's accession as king. The king agreed, but insisted that the legitimacy and rights of inheritance of his two children by Agnes be recognised. Agnes returned to the court at Jerusalem when her brother was appointed Seneschal in [1176/77], and became a domineering influence over her two children by her second husband. William of Tyre recounts the background to the annulment of her second marriage and records her third marriage, after her second husband's remarriage, as well as her fourth marriage. The Lignages records that "Hue de Ybelin" was "baron de Agnes qui avoit esté feme dou rei Amauri", stating that he died without heirs. Another manuscript of the Lignages expands by naming her "Agnes, la fille au conte Jocelin de Rohais". The Lignages d'Outremer name "Agnes, qui avoit esté feme dou rei Amauri et Hue de Ybelin…" as wife of "Renaut de Garnier".
