Philip of Ibelin

Philip of Ibelin (1180–1227) was a son of Balian of Ibelin and Maria Komnene, widow of King Amalric. In 1206 he escorted his niece Alice to Cyprus to marry King Hugh I, settling on the island with his brother John of Beirut before 1217.

When Hugh I died in 1218, Philip became regent for the infant Henry I and built Ibelin power on the island. By his wife Alice of Montbéliard he fathered John, the future count of Jaffa, and died in 1227.
