About Eschiva of Bures
Eschiva of Bures, also known as Eschiva II or Eschiva I, was the princess of Galilee in the Kingdom of Jerusalem from 1158 to 1187. She inherited the principality and in 1159 married Walter of Saint-Omer, who became prince and the father of her children. In 1174, within months of being widowed, she married Count Raymond III of Tripoli. She governed the principality from the town of Tiberias during Raymond's absence from 1180 to 1182. In the aftermath of the battle of Hattin, she surrendered Tiberias to the Egyptian ruler Saladin.
