About Hugh I of Cyprus

Hugh I was the king of Cyprus from 1205 until his death. He was nine when he succeeded his father, King Aimery, and his brother-in-law Walter of Montbéliard ruled the kingdom as regent. Sometime between 1208 and 1211, Hugh married Alice of Champagne, with whom he had three children. After reaching the age of majority and assuming personal rule in 1210, he fell out with Walter, who fled to the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Hugh reversed Walter's policies, making peace with the Seljuqs of Rum and siding with the Armenians in the War of the Antiochene Succession. Pope Innocent III rebuked him for his hostility to the king of Jerusalem, John of Brienne, and for interfering in church appointments. Hugh embarked on the Fifth Crusade in late 1217, but died of an illness in Tripoli soon after. His infant son, Henry I, succeeded him under Queen Alice's tutelage.
