Humphrey's stepfather Raynald attempts, after the child …
Years: 1186 - 1186
Humphrey's stepfather Raynald attempts, after the child king dies in 1186, possibly poisoned by Guy of Lusignan, to persuade him to claim the throne in right of Isabella, whom her mother Dowager Queen Maria Komnena and the Ibelin faction want to crown as soon as possible.
Humphrey, who is at this time about twenty, chooses instead to support Guy, husband of Isabella's half-sister Sibylla, to whom Humphrey has sworn fealty.
Reluctantly, Raynald and the other nobles follow his support, as do the Ibelins, even though Guy, who had arrived in Outremer after 1177, had previously been deprived of the regency by his dying brother-in-law Baldwin IV due to his conduct at the 1183 siege of Kerak.
The court party, supported by Raynald, outmaneuvers the other barons and, disregarding succession arrangements that had been formally drawn up, hastily crowns Sibyl.
Announcing her intention to choose the most worthy noble to be her husband and king, Sybil divorces Guy, only to choose him again as king and husband.
