3. GAUTHIER de Montbéliard (-killed in battle 20 Jun 1212). William of Tyre (Continuator) names "le conte Gautier de Briene qui fu fiz dou conte Erart de Brienne et de la fille dou conte Ami de Monbliart" and says that “Rechart le conte de Monbliart et Gautier son frere furent ses oncles de par sa mere”[34]. "Richardus comes Montisbeligardi et Galterius frater eius" witnessed the charter dated 1201 which records a donation to the abbey of Cîteaux[35]. He joined the Fourth Crusade in 1199, but in 1201 left the main body of crusaders in southern Italy to join Gauthier de Brienne. He arrived in Palestine [before 1205] and was appointed Constable of the kingdom of Jerusalem by King Amaury II in 1205[36]. He was appointed Regent of Cyprus for his brother-in-law Hugues I King of Cyprus in 1205[37]. In 1207, he lifted the Seljuk siege of Satalia [Antalya] in southern Asia minor in response to the call of its ruler Aldobrandino, but was himself expelled presumably after attempting to take the town for himself[38]. 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 Maria Queen of Jerusalem[39]. Gauthier later complained to Pope Innocent III about how King Hugues had treated him[40].

m (before 1205) BOURGOGNE de Lusignan, daughter of AMAURY King of Cyprus & his first wife Echive of Ibelin (-after 1205). She is named by William of Tyre (Continuator) who also gives her parentage, listing her first of the sisters, and names her (second) husband[41]. 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"[42]. Gauthier & his wife had two children:
