3 unusual facts about John of Arsuf


John of Arsuf

The letter, which had the encouragement of Richard of Cornwall behind it, proposed that Frederick pardon all baronial rebels and create Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, bailiff.

Plaisance of Antioch

Plaisance, supported by a majority of the nobles, was accepted as acting regent and then appointed her former father-in-law John of Ibelin (lord of Arsuf) to rule as bailiff in her place; he had already been bailiff before her arrival and both Bohemund and John of Jaffa had hoped the presence of Plaisance and Hugh would eliminate the need for another bailiff.

Plaisance re-married to Balian d'Ibelin, Lord of Arsuf, the son of Jean d'Ibelin, Lord of Arsuf, but they divorced and had the marriage annulled in 1258.
