1 gen 1180 anni - Guy marries Sybilla

Descrizione:

With Baldwin growing more and more ill, his widow sister, Sybilla, was to be arranged a marriage. She was originally going to marry a French royalty, but he failed to reach the Holy Land.

Raymond III of Tripoli and Bohemond III of Antioch wanted Baldwin out of power to increase their own ambitions. To do this he would need to marry Sybilla off to Raymond's ally Baldwin of Ibelin to increase Ibelin dynasty.

However, before this could happen Baldwin stopped Raymond and Bohemond and married Sybilla to Guy of Lusignan. If Baldwin did not do this he could have been erased from power.

Guy was the only unmarried adult man that had significant power in Palestine, but also had ties to Poitou, a region under Henry II of England's power. Having England as an ally would be helpful especially in Frances disarray.

Guy was to be the regent of Jerusalem if Baldwin turned ill.
