'''Henry I''' ({{langx|fr|Henri}}; 3 May 1217 – 18 January 1253{{efn|name=fn1}}), called '''the Fat''', was the [[king of Cyprus]] from 1218 until his death. Noted for his corpulence, Henry was a pliant king who relied heavily on his kin from the powerful [[Ibelin family]].

Henry was the son of King [[Hugh I of Cyprus|Hugh I]], whom he succeeded as an infant. His mother, [[Alice of Champagne]], held the regency during his minority, but power was wielded by her uncles [[Philip of Ibelin (1180–1227)|Philip]] and [[John, Old Lord of Beirut|John of Ibelin]]. [[Emperor Frederick II]] also claimed the right to rule [[Kingdom of Cyprus|Cyprus]] during Henry's minority, leading to [[War of the Lombards|a long war]] with the Ibelins, which dominated the first part of Henry's reign. The Ibelins prevailed and retained a leading role after Henry reached the age of majority in 1232.

In 1246, King Henry succeeded his mother, Queen Alice, as regent of the [[Kingdom of Jerusalem]] in the name of his kinsman King [[Conrad IV of Germany|Conrad II]]. He appointed [[Balian, Lord of Beirut|Balian of Ibelin]] to rule the mainland state in his name. In 1248 he sailed with King [[Louis IX of France]] to Egypt on the [[Seventh Crusade]], but returned to Cyprus shortly after, leaving his men to serve under Louis. 

Henry's first two marriages, to [[Alice of Montferrat]] and [[Stephanie of Lampron]], were childless. In 1250 he married [[Plaisance of Antioch]]. He died shortly after the birth of their only child, [[Hugh II of Cyprus|Hugh II]], who succeeded him as king.

==Minority==
===Infancy===
Henry was born on 3 May 1217 to [[Hugh I of Cyprus]] and [[Alice of Champagne]]. He had two sisters, [[Mary of Lusignan, Countess of Brienne|Maria]] and [[Isabella of Cyprus|Isabella]].{{sfn|Hill|2010|pp=83-84}} Alice was the aunt and [[heir presumptive]] to [[Isabella II of Jerusalem]].{{sfn|Hamilton|2016|p=228}} King Hugh died on 10 January 1218 and the 8-month-old Henry succeeded him with Queen Alice as both his [[regent]] and guardian. She appointed her uncle [[Philip of Ibelin (1180–1227)|Philip of Ibelin]] to govern the [[Kingdom of Cyprus]] as her ''[[bailli]]''.{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=84}}{{sfn|Edbury|1994|pp=48-49}} The kingdom had been established by Hugh's father, [[Aimery of Lusignan]] (died in 1205), who accepted the [[suzerainty]] of [[Emperor Henry VI]] (died in 1197) in return for a crown.{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=90}}

During Henry's minority, Duke [[Leopold VI of Austria]] laid a claim on the kingdom. Leopold was a second cousin once removed of the last [[Byzantine]] ruler of Cyprus, [[Isaac Komnenos of Cyprus|Isaac Komnenos]], and must have tried to displace Henry in 1217-1219, while participating in the [[Fifth Crusade]]. The attempt was thwarted by the barons. Philip's brother, [[John, Old Lord of Beirut|John]], [[lord of Beirut]], credited himself and his family with preserving the island for Henry.{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=84}}{{sfn|Edbury|1994|p=10}}

===Conflicts over regency===
====Imperial claims====
By 1223 or 1124, relations between Alice and Philip had broken down and the queen left for [[Syria (region)|Syria]].{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=88}}{{sfn|Edbury|1994|p=49}} In an attempt to get rid of her uncle, Alice married [[Bohemond V of Antioch|Bohemond of Antioch]] and possibly tried to pass the government to him. [[Philip of Novara]], an Ibelin partisan, relates that the barons of Cyprus unanimiously rejected Bohemond out of fear for Henry's safety. Alice then appointed [[Aimery Barlais]], but Aimery was not able to dislodge Philip.{{sfn|Edbury|1994|pp=49-50}}

Another claimant to the rule over Cyprus during Henry's minority was [[Emperor Frederick II]], who considered himself Henry's suzerain on the basis of King Aimery's fealty to Emperor Henry VI. Frederick married Queen Isabella II of Jerusalem on 9 November 1225 and planned to come to the [[Latin East]] on a [[crusade]]. Fearing that the emperor might seize the regency of Cyprus, the Ibelins decided to expedite Henry's [[coronation]]. Henry was thus crowned [[king of Cyprus]] the [[Selimiye Mosque, Nicosia|Cathedral of Saint Sophia]] in 1225 by the [[archbishop of Nicosia]], [[Eustorge of Montaigu]]. Frederick was enraged about not having received prior notification.{{sfn|Hill|2010|pp=89-91}}{{sfn|Edbury|1994|pp=57}} In early 1226, [[Pope Honorius III]] instructed Philip to govern to the benefit of King Henry and the kingdom. He also ordered the [[Military order (religious society)|military orders]] and people of Cyprus to be loyal to Philip and Henry, and placed the king under papal protection. After Philip died in 1127 or 1128, his brother John, lord of Beirut, seized power.{{sfn|Edbury|1994|pp=50-60}}{{sfn|Hill|2010|pp=91-100}}

Empress Isabella died in 1228 after giving birth to her successor, [[Conrad IV of Germany|Conrad II]]. The widowed Emperor Frederick set out for the Latin East nonetheless and arrived in Cyprus in July 1228. At the emperor's request, John joined Frederick at a banquet in [[Limassol]] and brought his sons and King Henry. John and the emperor argued at the banquet, and John soon took up armed resistance. In September the men agreed that Queen Alice was the rightful regent, that the emperor should have the profits from the royal revenues, that the fortresses should nominally be under the young king's control and in the custody of his vassals until he came of age, and the emperor took the fealty of the Cypriots as the kingdom's suzerain. Henry was left in Frederick's hands. A plot was hatched to kidnap King Henry and desert Frederick, but John refused to sanction it.{{sfn|Edbury|1994|pp=50-60}}{{sfn|Hill|2010|pp=91-100}}
[[File:Saint Hilarion Castle, Northern Cyprus - panoramio (6).jpg|thumb|The young King Henry was kept at Dieudamour, which underwent a long siege in 1229-30.]]
When in 1229 Emperor Frederick decided to return to Europe, he took King Henry to Limassol and had him [[married by proxy]] to [[Alice of Montferrat]], a daughter of the emperor's kinsman and vassal [[William VI of Montferrat]]. The emperor then handed over Henry to his supporters in Cyprus and named Aimery Barlais, [[Amalric of Bethsan]], [[Hugh of Jubail]], [[William of Rivet]] and [[Gauvain of Cheneche]]&ndash;leaders of the opposition to the Ibelins&ndash;as co-''baillis''. In June 1229 the emperor was back in Italy.{{sfn|Edbury|1994|p=60}}{{sfn|Hill|2010|pp=100-101}} With the emperor gone, the ''baillis'' invited Philip of Novara&ndash;according to Philip's testimony&ndash;to King Henry's court and tried to tempt him into abandoning the Ibelin party while the young king looked at him helplessly. An armed conflict followed. The ''baillis'' sent the king under guard to [[Dieudamour]] before being defeated by the Ibelins at Nicosia in July. They retired to the castles of Dieudamour, [[Kyrenia]], and [[Kantara Castle|Kantara]], which the Ibelins promptly besieged. Kyrenia was taken swiftly, but the siege of Dieudamour lasted for nearly a year, starving the defenders. John of Ibelin feared that the ''baillis'' might smuggle the king away to Italy. Dieudamour capitulated in April or May 1230. A peace was then concluded and the ''baillis'' handed over the fortresses and Henry and his sisters.{{sfn|Hill|2010|pp=101-107}}

====Imperialist rule====
In late 1231, Emperor Frederick sent a great host to Cyprus. John of Ibelin was warned, and he took King Henry to [[Kiti, Cyprus|Kiti]]. The first detachment of the imperial host anchored off [[Cape Gata]] and demanded an audience with the king; when told that he was at Kiti, the emperor's messengers sailed there. They relayed to Henry a message from the emperor, who requested that the king banish John and all of John's family. Henry took counsel with his advisors and responded, through his vassal [[William Visconte]], that the emperor's command was astonishing because John was his granduncle and vassal. [[Richard Filangieri]] then arrived with the rest of the imperial forces and attacked John's [[lordship of Beirut]] in the Kingdom of Jerusalem. John appealed to King Henry and his fellow vassals for help at a meeting of the [[High Court of Cyprus]] in Nicosia, and they all agreed.{{sfn|Hill|2010|pp=108-111}}

Unable to lift the siege of Beirut, John of Ibelin negotiated the marriage of Henry's sister Isabella with [[Henry of Antioch|Henry]], the youngest son of Prince [[Bohemond IV of Antioch]]. In 1232, King Henry sent [[Balian, Lord of Beirut|Balian of Ibelin]], William Visconte, and Philip of Novara to conclude this alliance.{{sfn|Hill|2010|pp=109, 113}} The Imperialists overran Cyprus and seized all fortresses except Dieudamour and [[Buffavento]], which was defended by the king's cousin [[Eschiva of Montbéliard]]. John allied with the [[Republic of Genoa|Genoese]] and decided to attack Filangieri at [[Tyre, Lebanon|Tyre]]. After news reached him that his son Balian had raised the siege of Beirut, John decided to go to [[Acre, Israel|Acre]] to make peace. He left King Henry at [[Casal Imbert]] with his three sons, Baldwin, Hugh, and Guy of Ibelin; his nephew [[John of Ibelin (jurist)|John of Ibelin]]; and [[Anselm of Brie]]. The Imperialists surprised them at night and defeated them. Henry escaped to Acre riding under guard almost naked. There he recruited men by offering fiefs and took out loans from [[John of Caesarea]] and the younger John of Ibelin. The king and the lord of Beirut took their small force to Cyprus, defeated the Imperialists in battle, and proceeded to retake the fortresses.{{sfn|Hill|2010|pp=114-123}}{{sfn|Edbury|1994|pp=63-64}}

==Personal rule==
===Domestic affairs===
[[File:SilverDenierHenryIOfCyprus1218-1253.jpg|thumb|Silver denier of King Henry I]]
King Henry reached the [[age of majority]] on 3 May 1232.{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=117}} Emperor Frederick was thus deprived of his principal justification for intervening in the affairs of Cyprus,{{sfn|Edbury|1994|p=65}} but he may have continued to regard Henry as a minor because in [[Kingdom of Germany|Germany]] the age of majority was 25.{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=98}} On 10 June Henry rewarded the Genoese with momentous concessions: legal autonomy in Cyprus, trade exemptions, houses and bakeries in major towns, and the ''[[Casalis|casale]]'' of Despoire near Limassol. The king and the Ibelins won a decisive [[battle at Agridi]] on 15 June.{{sfn|Hill|2010|pp=117-121}}

King Henry's wife, Queen Alice, who was on the side of the Imperialists, died of an illness while he and the Ibelins were besieging Kyrenia in the winter of 1232/33. A truce was arranged for the queen's body to be delivered to the king and buried.{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=101, 123-124}} The couple may have met;{{sfn|Runciman|1989|p=202}} they could not have seen each other since the Ibelins took custody of the king in April or May 1230.{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=124}} The king's elder sister, Maria, married Count [[Walter IV of Brienne]] in 1233.{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=127}} Henry generously bestowed lands on Walter and on his other brother-in-law, Henry of Antioch, husband of Isabella.{{sfn|Edbury|1994|p=79}}

After the definite restoration of the Ibelin party to power, Henry accused the Imperialist barons of treason at the High Court. All who had waged war against him after he reached majority&ndash;a list headed by Aimery Barlais, Amaury of Bethsan, Hugh of Jubail, and [[Philip Chenard]]&ndash;had their fiefs confiscated and granted to the king's supporters.{{sfn|Edbury|1994|p=66}}{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=124}} With the surrender of Kyrenia in April 1233, the War of the Lombards ended in Cyprus. The last engagements of the conflict drained Henry's treasury. Vassals who had not received payment since the rule of the king's mother, Queen Alice, complained at a session of the High Court, but the lord of Beirut convinced them that the requisite formalities for the case were not observed and they apologized to the king.{{sfn|Hill|2010|pp=124-127}} [[Tithe]]s were also owed, and Henry had to compensate the archbishop of Nicosia with royal lands.{{sfn|Edbury|1994|p=67}}

John, lord of Beirut, died in 1236.{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=129}} He had enjoyed King Henry's confidence.{{sfn|Edbury|1994|p=68}} His son Balian succeeded him as lord of Beirut and King Henry's counsellor.{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=130}} Henry was not an assertive king.{{sfn|Edbury|1994|p=71}}{{sfn|Runciman|1989|p=230}} He was noted chiefly for his corpulence, which earned him the nickname "the Fat"{{sfn|Runciman|1989|p=230}}{{sfn|Furber|1969|p=606}} and which may have been linked to mental lethargy.{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=83}} The Ibelins led his council and the High Court, but appear to have been loyal and had no differences with Henry.{{sfn|Edbury|1994|p=71}} 

In 1237 or 1238, King Henry married [[Stephanie of Lampron]], a half-sister of King [[Hethum I]] of Cilicia, cementing the continuously good relations with the [[Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia]].{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=130}}

===Lordship of Jeurusalem===
King Henry's mother, Queen Alice, was elected regent of the Kingdom of Jerusalem in place of the absent King Conrad in 1243.{{sfn|Hill|2010|pp=133-135}} Henry ignored the appeals to relieve the city of [[Jerusalem]] in 1244 when [[Siege of Jerusalem (1244)|it was besieged]] by the [[Khwarazmian army between 1231 and 1246|Khwarazmian army]].{{sfn|Hill|2010|pp=138-139}} When his mother died in 1246, both Henry and her half-sister [[Melisende of Cyprus]] claimed the regency.{{sfn|Hamilton|2016|p=238}}{{sfn|Runciman|1989|pp=223, 230}} Although his aunt was more closely related to Conrad, the High Court awarded the regency to Henry. The reasoning is unrecorded, but he was likely preferred as a male and an anointed monarch, and evidence suggests he also secured support by distributing land to court members.{{sfn|Edbury|1994|p=82}} The promotions of [[Guy of Ibelin, Constable of Cyprus|Guy]] and [[Baldwin of Ibelin, Seneschal of Cyprus|Baldwin of Ibelin]] to the offices of [[constable of Cyprus|constable]] and [[seneschal of Cyprus]], respectively, which took place in the 1240s, may have been part of Henry's efforts to win this regency.{{sfn|Edbury|1994|p=71}}

Conrad was still technically [[king of Jerusalem]], but Henry ruled the mainland kingdom as "lord of Jerusalem". Henry appointed Balian of Ibelin as his ''bailli'' and granted the [[lordship of Tyre]] to [[Philip of Montfort]]. After Balian's death in 1247, his brother [[John of Arsuf|John]] became ''bailli''. [[Tiberias]] fell to Khwarazmian on 16 June 1247. When the [[Ayyubids]] laid a [[Siege of Ascalon (1247)|siege to Ascalon]] soon after, the [[Knights Hospitaller]] requested Henry's help. Although he sent eight ships, Ascalon fell in October.{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=139}}

===Seventh Crusade===
[[File:Louis9+Henry1+Cypre.jpg|thumb|Henry welcomed Louis IX of France in Cyprus and accompanied him on crusade to Egypt.]]
In 1247 [[Pope Innocent IV]] formally released Henry from all oaths sworn to Frederick, permanently ending imperial claims to suzerainty over Cyprus.{{sfn|Edbury|1994|p=66}}{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=139}} In September 1248, King [[Louis IX of France]], Queen [[Margaret of Provence|Margaret]], and the king's brothers Count [[Charles I of Anjou]] and [[Robert I of Artois]] arrived in Cyprus on their way to the [[Seventh Crusade]]. King Henry and the Ibelins welcomed the French king. The French crusaders overwintered in Cyprus, the resources of which proved unable to support a great force, and many died of an epidemic. Henry's wife, Queen Stephanie, also fell ill. Henry and Louis set sail together from Limassol to Egypt. After accompanying Louis on his solemn entry into [[Damietta]] on 6 June 1249, Henry returned to Cyprus, leaving his force behind to serve under Louis for a year. The Egyptian campaign ended in a defeat in April 1250.{{sfn|Hill|2010|pp=140-145}}

Archbishop Eustorge died in Egypt in April 1250.{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=146}} Henry quarreled with the new archbishop, [[Hugh of Fagiano]], who left Cyprus and imposed an [[interdict]] on the kingdom.{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=149}} In September 1250, shortly after the death of Queen Stephanie, King Henry married once again. His third wife, [[Plaisance of Antioch|Plaisance]], was the daughter of Prince [[Bohemond V of Antioch]]. Some months after Queen Plaisance gave birth to his only child, [[Hugh II of Cyprus|Hugh]], King Henry I died in Nicosia.{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=148}} His death is generally dated to 18 January 1253 following the late medieval Italian ''[[Chronicle of Amadi]]''; alternatively, it may have taken place in 1254.{{efn|name=fn1|In the Middle Ages, the year commonly began on 25 March, and this practice was followed in the Kingdom of Cyprus as well.{{sfn|Edbury|2017|pp=339-341}} A charter issued by Henry is dated October 1253; [[Hans E. Mayer]] suggested that the date was wrongly transcribed and should read 1252. Immediately after mentioning Henry's death, ''Amadi'' records that Archbishop Hugh returned after the king's death; Hugh was in Cyprus in June 1253, but away in March 1254. The historian Peter W. Edbury concludes that "having Henry die a year later than is
generally supposed is in itself of no particular significance."{{sfn|Edbury|2017|pp=346-347}}}} He was buried in a Templar church. He had appointed Guy of Ibelin, Philip of Novara, and Robert of Montgisard to be his [[executor]]s. He was succeeded by his son, King Hugh II, under the regency of Queen Plaisance.{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=148}}

Throughout the 20 years of his personal rule, Henry appears to have never stood at the forefront of the [[Latin East]]'s political scene.{{sfn|Edbury|1994|p=35}} The historian [[George Francis Hill]] describes Henry as a "colourless personality" whose reign saw significant events in which he apparently played no leading part. He considers it significant that [[John of Joinville]], who chronicled the Seventh Crusade, does not even mention him.{{sfn|Hill|2010|p=148}}{{sfn|Furber|1969|p=606}}
