1. BOURGOGNE de Lusignan (-after 1205). She is named by William of Tyre (Continuator) who also records her parentage, listing her first of the sisters, and names her husband[103]. The Chronicle of Amadi names (in order) "Borgogna, Alis et Chielvis" as the three daughters of "Almerico de Lusignan" and his wife "Civa, figlia de Baduin de Ibelin signor de Rames", specifying in a later passage that "Borgogna" married "Galtier de Mombeliart"[104].

[According to Europäische Stammtafeln[105], Bourgogne married firstly (1193, repudiated 1196) as his third wife, Raymond de Toulouse, son of Raymond V Comte de Toulouse & his wife Constance de France (27 Oct 1156-Toulouse 2 Aug 1222), who succeeded his father in 1194 as Raymond VI Comte de Toulouse, Duc de Narbonne, Marquis de Provence. It is possible that this speculation originates from the Historia Albigensis which records the marriage of Comte Raymond and "filiam ducis Cipri" after his repudiation of Beatrix de Béziers and before his marriage to Joan of England[106]. It appears that there must be confusion with Comte Raymond's marriage to "la Damsel de Chypre" (see Chapter 1, above) and that later genealogists identified Bourgogne as the only Cypriot princess who might have been unmarried at that date and assumed therefore that she married Comte Raymond. It is assumed that the Historia Albigensis has confused the order of the marriages of Comte Raymond and that it intended to refer to his marriage to "la Damsel de Chypre" which is recorded in other sources and must have taken place after the death of his wife Joan.]

m (before 1205) GAUTHIER de Montbéliard, son of AMEDEE de Montfaucon Comte de Montbéliard & his [second] wife Beatrix --- (-killed in battle 20 Jun 1212). He joined the Fourth Crusade in 1199, but in 1201 he left the main body of crusaders in southern Italy to join Gauthier de Brienne. He arrived in Palestine in [1205] and was appointed Constable of the kingdom of Jerusalem by King Amaury II in 1205[107]. He was appointed bailly of Cyprus for his brother-in-law Hugues I King of Cyprus in 1205[108]. He fled Cyprus after the end of his regency in 1210, allegedly taking with him a large part of the royal treasure, and sought refuge at Acre with his nephew Jean de Brienne who had recently married Marie Queen of Jerusalem[109]. Gauthier later complained to Pope Innocent III that King Hugues had treated him badly[110].
