Alice of Jerusalem (died c. 1150) was the princess of Antioch from 1126 to 1130 and, from 1130 to 1136, a contender for the regency of the principality. Because of her ambition to rule she is unfavorably portrayed by the chronicler William of Tyre, who is the main narrative source of information about her life, and William's hostile account has affected the historiographical assessment of Alice's career.

Contents

Alice was the daughter of King Baldwin II of Jerusalem, who took up rule of the Principality of Antioch during the minority and absence of Prince Bohemond II. Bohemond arrived to take up his inheritance in 1126 and was immediately married to Alice. They had a daughter, Constance. After Bohemond's death in battle in 1130, Alice attempted to seize power either as regent for Constance or as sovereign princess. In these endeavors she was opposed first by her father, who died in 1131, and then by her brother-in-law King Fulk of Jerusalem. In late 1135 she seized power in Antioch for the third time, but was permanently displaced early next year by Raymond of Poitiers, who had come from Europe to marry her daughter. Throughout her widowhood she retained rule over the coastal cities of Latakia and Jabala, which she had received from Bohemond as dower, and there developed an autonomous lordship.

The Levant between the First and the Second Crusade

Alice was the second of four daughters of Baldwin of Bourcq, a Frankish crusader, and Morphia of Melitene, an Armenian noblewoman. [1] [2] Like her elder sister, Melisende, and younger sister, Hodierna, Alice was born when Baldwin was still the count of Edessa. [2] [3] The County of Edessa was–like the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Principality of Antioch, and the County of Tripoli –one of the four crusader states of the Levant created by the Franks, the Latin Christians who invaded the region and defeated its Muslim rulers in the First Crusade in 1099. [4] Alice's father was elected king of Jerusalem in 1118. [5] In 1119 he returned to Edessa to install his cousin Joscelin of Courtenay as the new count and to bring his wife and their daughters to Jerusalem. [6] Alice subsequently gained another sister, Ioveta. [3]

Roger of Salerno, prince of Antioch, was killed and the Frankish army of Antioch annihilated by the Turk army of Ilghazi in the Battle of the Field of Blood on 28 June 1119. [7] King Baldwin arrived in Antioch probably in late July [8] and asserted his authority over the principality. [9] It was agreed that he would rule during the minority of the rightful heir, Bohemond II, who would marry the king's second daughter, Alice, upon coming of age. [9]

Bohemond arrived from Europe to the Levant in late 1126. [10] Baldwin awaited him at Antioch with Alice. [11] The couple were quickly married, and Bohemond was then invested with the principality. [10] Baldwin thus relieved himself of the responsibility for the principality while maintaining an alliance with Antioch. [2] Alice was a prestigious match for Bohemond because of her father's successful career. She received a generous dower, namely the coastal cities of Latakia and Jabala, similar to the earlier princesses of Antioch, Cecilia of France and Alice's aunt Cecilia of Le Bourcq. The marriage did not give Alice any significant role in the principality. They had one child, a daughter named Constance. [12] Because King Baldwin had no sons, the succession was settled on his eldest daughter, Melisende, who was then married to Count Fulk V of Anjou. [13]

Rule

First bid for power

Bohemond was killed in fighting in Cilicia in February 1130. [14] He had been a promising ruler, [14] and the first clearly legitimate prince in Antioch since c. 1105. [15] Historian Thomas Asbridge believes that this must have been a shattering blow to the Franks of Antioch. [12] They decided to send for Alice's father, King Baldwin, to come and take control, but Alice acted first and seized control of the city. [15] Archbishop William of Tyre wrote that Alice intended to claim the principality for herself "in perpetuity", dispossessing her infant daughter, Constance. [15] Rumours spread in Antioch that Alice planned to send Constance to a convent or to have her marry a commoner. [16] Asbridge, however, says that it is not clear whether Alice wished to divert the succession from Constance or to rule as regent, [15] as was usual for the mother of a child ruler. [17] Asbridge argues that Alice's success in seizing power proves that William cannot be correct in claiming that she had no major supporters. [18]

Upon receiving the news of Bohemond's death, King Baldwin hastened to Antioch with his son-in-law Fulk to take custody of Constance and appoint a regent. [19] Alice, William says, attempted to ally herself with the Muslim ruler of Mosul and Aleppo, Imad ad-Din Zengi, but her messenger was captured and killed by her father's men. [20] This account is widely accepted in traditional historiography but Asbridge is suspicious because it is not confirmed in contemporary sources. [21] When her father appeared at the gates of Antioch, Alice ordered them shut, and garnered support by distributing money from the princely treasury. Historian Steven Runciman speculates that her Armenian heritage may have endeared her to the city's native Christians. [19]

King Baldwin II forgave Alice, but gave the guardianship of her daughter to another. Baldwin II of Jerusalem.jpg

Encamped outside the city, Baldwin sent for Joscelin of Edessa. [19] After a few days, a monk named Peter Latinator and a burgess called William of Aversa opened the gates to Fulk and Joscelin, [18] allowing the king to enter. [19] Alice took refuge in a tower and only emerged after city officials guaranteed her life. Alice knelt before her father, who forgave her but removed her from power. Baldwin had the Antiochene nobles swear fealty to himself and Constance, and then gave the guardianship of the principality and its heir to Joscelin. [19] Joscelin was to rule the principality name until a marriage could be arranged for Constance. [14] Alice retained Latakia and Jabala, leaving her extremely powerful because those cities were the main ports of the northern Levant. [22]

Regency of Fulk

King Baldwin fell seriously ill upon returning from Antioch to Jerusalem. He died on 21 August 1131, and was succeeded by Fulk and Melisende. [14] Joscelin died within weeks of Baldwin, [14] and was succeeded as count of Edessa by Joscelin II. [23] Alice saw an opportunity to make her second bid for power. [23] She allied with Counts Joscelin II of Edessa and Pons of Tripoli, neither of whom wished to accept Fulk's suzerainty, and also had the support of a major Antiochene baron, William of Saone. [24] [17] An embassy of concerned Antiochene nobles informed Fulk of the plot. [23] In mid-1132 he defeated Pons, ending Alice's hopes of assuming power. [25] Fulk was not strong enough to punish the rebels nor to break up Alice's party. [26] The king stayed in Antioch for some time, and left Rainald I Masoir as regent. [25] He returned again in late 1133 or early 1134. In concert with the Antiochene nobles he sent an offer to Raymond of Poitiers, a younger son of Duke William IX of Aquitaine, to come from France to become the new prince of Antioch. [25] [27] The invitation to Raymond was kept secret to prevent a counter strike by either Alice or King Roger II of Sicily, who was Constance's closest relative on her father's side and may have had his own designs on the principality. [27] [28]

Alice remained active throughout the 1130s. By 1134 at the latest she had started developing an independent government at Latakia and issuing charters through her own scriptorium as "Alice, second daughter of Baldwin king of Jerusalem, once wife of Lord Bohemond, son of Bohemond the Great, most excellent prince of Antioch, by the grace of God princess of Antioch". She had her own chancellor, constable, and possibly other officers. [29] Asbridge maintains that she saw herself as an "absentee princess or regent", [30] while his colleague Malcolm Barber believes that Rainald Mazoir needed Alice's co-operation to govern the principality effectively. [27] Her court became the center of opposition to Fulk's rule in the crusader states. In 1134 she hosted Hugh II of Jaffa, who in the same year led a major revolt against Fulk. [31] Hugh was opposed to Fulk's attempts to exclude Melisende from power. [32] He was defeated, but Melisende succeeded in gaining a share in the government of the kingdom. [33]

Bernard of Valence, the first Latin patriarch of Antioch, died in late 1135, and Ralph of Domfront seized the see of Antioch. [34] Ralph's elevation may have been supported by Rainald Masoir in an attempt to counter Alice's party. [35] Towards the end of 1135 Alice marched to Antioch and again assumed power. Melisende interceded with Fulk not to interfere. [36] Alice had the support of the new patriarch, [37] and is not recorded to have encountered resistance from Rainald Masoir. [36] The princess is traditionally said to have then sent an embassy to Byzantine Emperor John II Komnenos, proposing a marriage between his youngest son, Manuel, and either herself or her daughter, but Asbridge suggests that this offer may have been made already in 1130 and not by Alice. [38]

Reign of Raymond

Raymond of Poitiers arrived in early 1136. [34] William of Tyre narrates that Ralph convinced Alice that Raymond had arrived to become her husband only to celebrate Raymond's marriage to Constance instead. [37] Historian Andrew D. Buck considers it more likely that Alice came to Antioch to protect her daughter, then aged only eight, from an uncanonical marriage. [39] Alice was thus outmanoeuvred; she retired to her own domain and, in William's words, "ever after she pursued the prince with relentless hatred". [37] Raymond and Ralph further agreed that if Raymond's brother Henry came to Antioch, the archbishop would marry him to Alice, thus securing Latakia and Jabala. [35] Asbridge considers it "extremely unlikely" that Alice did not know that Raymond had come to marry Constance or that the marriage could be held without her knowledge; he suggests that the speed with which it took place may have caught her by surprise. Ralph is traditionally said to have feared being replaced by the Greek patriarch in case the alliance with the Byzantines materialized, but Asbridge argues that the patriarch decided to support Raymond and Constance because Raymond had promised to swear fealty to him, something Alice would presumably not consider. [37] Alice stood no chance to win support against an adult man of high birth with a clear legal claim to rule, and the Antiochene turned their back on her permanently. [36]

Back in Latakia and Jabala, Alice's agency continued. [40] She relinquished the title of princess of Antioch, recognized Raymond as prince, and retained links to the princely court. In a 1151 charter Constance described her mother as princess of Latakia. [41] Alice appears to have pursued an independent military policy in this period: Bishop Hugh of Jabala visited the papal court in Rome in 1145 to report the fall of Edessa to Zengi, and took the opportunity to complain that Alice was withholding from the Church a share in the spoils of her raiding expeditions. [40] Like her aunt Cecilia and daughter, Constance, Alice had close ties to the Abbey of Saint Mary of the Valley of Jehosaphat. [42] Alice died c. 1150, [43] having ruled her own lordship of Latakia and Jabala for nearly 20 years. [44] The two cities passed to her daughter, who was the sole ruler of the principality from 1149 to 1153. [43]

Assessment

Archbishop William of Tyre, the principal chronicler of the 12th-century Levant, portrayed Alice in an unmistakeably unfavorable light. [45] He generally did not appreciate female participation in state affairs, [46] and for him Alice was a "wicked" and "tyrannical", "extremely malicious and wily woman". He faulted her for bribing men to support her, seeking an alliance with Muslims, and wanting to choose her own husband. Because he is the most comprehensive, if not sole, narrative source for the history of Antioch in the 1130s, his opinion of Alice has profoundly influenced 20th-century historians' assessment of the princess. Hans E. Mayer, for example, described her attempts to seize power as "disgraceful". [45]

Asbridge concludes that, as the holder of a vast lordship, Alice was "one of the most powerful figures in the principality’s history". [47] He concedes that her struggle for power "to some extent exacerbated" the weakness of Antioch in the 1130s, leading to significant territorial losses, but argues that such an ambition in a man would be seen "as nothing more than a natural impulse". [48] He compares Alice to her elder sister, Queen Melisende of Jerusalem, suggesting that Alice may have been a "precursor or exemplar" to Melisende in the latter's struggle against her husband, King Fulk, and son, King Baldwin III, for power in Jerusalem. William of Tyre wrote highly favorably about Melisende, however, and Asbridge argues that this contrasting treatment has obscured the similarities between the sisters. [30]

The Crusader states, or Outremer, were four Catholic polities that existed in the Levant from 1098 to 1291. Following the principles of feudalism, the foundation for these polities was laid by the First Crusade by the European Christians, which was proclaimed by the Latin Church in 1095 in order to reclaim the Holy Land after it was lost to the 7th-century Arab Muslim conquest. Situated on the Eastern Mediterranean, the four states were, in order from north to south: the County of Edessa (1098–1144), the Principality of Antioch (1098–1268), the County of Tripoli (1102–1289), and the Kingdom of Jerusalem (1099–1291).

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Principality of Antioch</span> Crusader state in the Levant from 1098 to 1268

The Principality of Antioch was one of the Crusader states created during the First Crusade which included parts of Anatolia and Syria. The principality was much smaller than the County of Edessa or the Kingdom of Jerusalem. It extended around the northeastern edge of the Mediterranean, bordering the County of Tripoli to the south, Edessa to the east, and the Byzantine Empire or the Kingdom of Armenia to the northwest, depending on the date.

Pons was count of Tripoli from 1112 to 1137. He was a minor when his father, Bertrand, died in 1112. He swore fealty to the Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos in the presence of a Byzantine embassy. His advisors sent him to Antioch to be educated in the court of Tancred of Antioch, ending the hostilities between the two crusader states. Tancred granted four important fortresses to Pons in the Principality of Antioch. Since Pons held his inherited lands in fief of the kings of Jerusalem, Tancred's grant strengthened the autonomy of the County of Tripoli. On his deathbed, Tancred also arranged the marriage of his wife, Cecile of France, to Pons.

Constance of Hauteville was the ruling princess of Antioch from 1130 to 1163. She was the only child of Bohemond II of Antioch and Alice of Jerusalem. Constance succeeded her father at the age of two after he fell in battle, although his cousin Roger II of Sicily laid claim to Antioch. Alice assumed the regency, but the Antiochene noblemen replaced her with her father, Baldwin II of Jerusalem. After he died in 1131, Alice again tried to take control of the government, but the Antiochene barons acknowledged the right of her brother-in-law Fulk of Anjou to rule as regent for Constance.

Bohemond III of Antioch, also known as Bohemond the Child or the Stammerer, was Prince of Antioch from 1163 to 1201. He was the elder son of Constance of Antioch and her first husband, Raymond of Poitiers. Bohemond ascended to the throne after the Antiochene noblemen dethroned his mother with the assistance of the lord of Armenian Cilicia, Thoros II. He fell into captivity in the Battle of Harim in 1164, but the victorious Nur ad-Din, atabeg of Aleppo released him to avoid coming into conflict with the Byzantine Empire. Bohemond went to Constantinople to pay homage to Manuel I Komnenos, who persuaded him to install a Greek Orthodox patriarch in Antioch. The Latin patriarch of Antioch, Aimery of Limoges, placed Antioch under interdict. Bohemond restored Aimery only after the Greek patriarch died during an earthquake in 1170.

Morphia of Melitene was the queen consort of the crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem from 1118 until her death. She was an Armenian by ethnicity and an adherent of the Greek Orthodox faith. Her father, Gabriel, was a warlord in northern Syria. He wished to marry her off to one of the crusade leaders who were carving out states in the Levant, and eventually chose Count Baldwin II of Edessa. They married around 1100 and had four daughters: Melisende, Alice, Hodierna, and Ioveta. In 1118, Baldwin was elected king of Jerusalem; the next year, Morphia became the first woman to be crowned queen of Jerusalem. She did not participate in the government but took initiative to liberate her husband after he was captured in 1123. She died a few years later. According to historian Bernard Hamilton, her religious practices left a lasting mark on the status of Orthodox Christians in the crusader kingdom.

Ioveta was a Latin princess from the crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem. Her name appears in various other forms, including Joveta, Yveta, Yvette, Ivetta, and Juditta.

After his father, Robert the Leper, was executed by the atabeg of Toghtekin in 1119, William inherited Balatanos and Saone. Zardana, that his father had lost before his death, was restored to William by Baldwin II of Jerusalem in 1121. He supported Baldwin II's daughter, Alice, against her brother-in-law, Fulk of Jerusalem, in 1132, but Fulk defeated her allies. William died fighting either against Fulk's troops or against a Muslim army.

Rainald I Masoir, also known as Renaud I Masoir, was constable of the Principality of Antioch from around 1126, and also baillif of the principality from 1132. Although he was a prominent military commander and held important offices, most details of his life are unknown. He received his first estates in the southern regions of Antioch in the 1110s. He made the strong fortress of Margat the center of his domains. He regularly witnessed the Antiochene rulers' diplomas from the 1120s. He was most probably still the actual ruler of the principality when he died.

The siege of Aleppo by Baldwin II of Jerusalem and his allies lasted from 6 October 1124 to 25 January 1125. It ended in a Crusader withdrawal following the arrival of a relief force led by Aqsunqur al-Bursuqi.
