The interesting fact, not noticed in any English record or

publication, that Hamon married Isabelle d'Ybelin, Queen of 

Cyprus, was discovered by my brother Guy in the French record, 

styled the Assizes de Jerusalem, published at Paris by Comte 

Beugnot in 1843. In the chapter entitled 'Les Lignages d'Outre- 

mer ' x is given a long pedigree of the house of Ybelin, derived from 

' Balian le Francois, frere au comte Giulin de Chartres,' to whom 

Fulk of Anjou, King of Jerusalem, gave Ybelin, so that he and 

his heirs were called de Ybelin. Balian's grandson, Jehan, received 

the fief of Beyrout from Queen Isabeau of Jerusalem, and he 

and his descendants were thereafter known as ' Sire de Baruth,' 

or ' Dame de Baruth.' Jean, Sire de Baruth, grandson of the 

above-named Jehan, married Aalis, daughter of the Duke of 

Athens, and they had a daughter, called Isabeau or Isabelle, 

who was married four times. Her first husband was Hugh II, 

King of Cyprus, who died at the age of fourteen. Her second 

husband was Hamon le Strange ; after his death she married, 

thirdly, in 1277, Nicholas Prince of Cesarea, and, fourthly, Guil- 

laume Barlais; after all these marriages the chronicler adds, 

' Et moru sans heirs.' The passage in the ' Lignages d'Outremer ' 

which records the marriage to Hamon runs as follows : 

Jehan fu Seignor de Baruth puis la mort son frere et esposa Aalis fille dou 

Due d'Atenes et orent deus filles, Isabeau et Eschive. Isabeau esposa Hughes 

fis de Henry roy de Chipre, qui moru de quatorze ans, si com a este dit ci- 

devant ; puis esposa un Engles qui avoit nom Reimont l'Estrange. 

The continuator of the chronicle of William of Tyre, printed 

in the 'Recueil des Historiens des Croisades,' also mentions this 

marriage : 

Anno m.cc.lxxii. En cet ans meismes fu marie la Dame de Baruth a 

Sire Heimont l'Estrange. 2 

and the mention of the lady's third marriage in 1277 is proof, if 

that were needed, that Hamon was then dead : 

Anno m.cc.lxx.vij. Nicolas Syres de Cesaire qui novelement avoit espousee 

la Dame de Baruth fu occis en Chypre a Nicosie par la main de Syre Baudouin
