Amalric II

From: Encyclopedia Britannica | Date: 2007 | Copyright information

(born 1155—died April 1, 1205) King of Cyprus (1194–1205) and of Jerusalem (1197–1205). Amalric inherited the kingdom of Cyprus on the death of his brother, Guy of Lusignan, and formed a close alliance with the ruler of Palestine. He also became the vassal of Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI. When the ruler of Palestine died, Amalric married his widow and became king of Jerusalem. He administered Jerusalem separately from his other lands and made peace with his Muslim neighbours after Saladin's death (1193).For more information on Amalric II, visit Britannica.com.
