Melisende of Lusignan

Melisende of Cyprus (c. 1200 – c. 1249) was a princess of the House of Lusignan. She was a daughter of Queen Isabella I of Jerusalem and King Aimery of Cyprus and wife of Prince Bohemond IV of Antioch. She claimed the regency of the Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1246 as the closest relative of King Conrad II, but it was awarded to her nephew King Henry I of Cyprus instead.
