king' from 116e to 1174, was the son of See also:Fulk of See also:Jerusalem, and the See also:brother of See also:Baldwin III. He was twice married: by his first wife, See also:Agnes of See also:Edessa, he had issue a son and a daughter, Baldwin IV. and Sibylla, -while his second wife, Maria Comnena, See also:bore him a daughter See also:Isabella, who ultimately carried the See also:crown of Jerusalem to her See also:fourth See also:husband, Amalric of See also:Lusignan (Amalric II.). The reign of Amalric I. was occupied by the See also:Egyptian problem. It became a question between Amalric and Nureddin, which of the two should See also:control the discordant viziers, who vied with one another for the control of the decadent caliphs of See also:Egypt. The acquisition of Egypt had been an See also:object of the See also:Franks since the days of Baldwin I. (and indeed of See also:Godfrey himself, who had promised to cede Jerusalem to the See also:patriarch Dagobert as soon as he should himself `acquire See also:Cairo). The See also:capture of See also:Ascalon by Baldwin III. in 1153 made this object more feasible; and we find the Hospitallers preparing See also:sketch-maps of the routes best suited for an invasion of Egypt, in the See also:style of a See also:modern See also:war See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office. On the other See also:hand, it was natural for Nureddin to See also:attempt to 'secure Egypt, both because it was the See also:terminus of the trading route which ran from See also:Damascus and because the acquisition of Egypt would enable him to surround the Latin See also:kingdom. For some five years a contest was waged between Amalric and Shirguh (Shirguh), the See also:lieutenant of Nureddin, for the See also:possession of Egypt. Thrice (1164,1167,1168) Amalric penetrated into Egypt: but the contest ended in the See also:establishment of See also:Saladin, the See also:nephew of Shirguh, as See also:vizier
a position which, on the See also:death of the puppet See also:caliph in rt71,' was turned into that of See also:sovereign. The extinction of the Latin kingdom might now seem imminent; and envoys were' sent to the See also:West with anxious appeals for assistance in 1169, 1171 and 1173. But though in 1170 'Saladin attacked the kingdom, and captured Aila on the Red See also:Sea, the danger was not 'so See also:great as it seemed. Nureddin was jealous of his over-mighty "subject, and his See also:jealousy See also:bound Saladin's hands. This was the position of affairs when Amalric died, in 1174; but, as Nureddin died in the same See also:year, the position was soon altered and Saladin began the final attack on the kingdom. Amalric I., the second of the native See also:kings of Jerusalem, had the qualities of his brother Baldwin III. (q.v.). He was something of a See also:scholar, and it was
he who set See also:- WILLIAM

Church had some doubts of him, and he laid his hands on theCh irch. William of Tyre was once astonished to find him questioning, on a See also:bed of sickness, the resurrection of the See also:body; and his See also:taxation of clerical goods gave umbrage to the See also:clergy generally. But he maintained the See also:state of his kingdom with the resources which he owed to the Church; and he is the last in the See also:fine See also:list of the See also:early kings of Jerusalem.
William of Tyre is our See also:original authority: see xix. 2-3 for his sketch of Amalric. Rohricht narrates the reign of Amalric I., Geschichte See also:des Konigreichs Jerusalem, c. xvii.-xviii.
Amalric II., king from 1197 to 1205, was the brother of See also:Guy of Lusignan. He had been See also:- CONSTABLE (0. Fr. connestable, Fr. connetable, Med. Lat. comestabilis, conestabilis, constabularius, from the Lat. comes stabuli, count of the stable)

- CONSTABLE, SIR MARMADUKE (c. 1455-1518)
constable of Jerusalem, but in L194, on the death of his brother, he became king of See also:Cyprus, as Amalric I. He married Isabella, the daughter of Amalric I. by his second See also:marriage, and became king of Jerusalem in right of his wife in 1197. In 1198 he was able to procure a five years' truce with the Mahommedans, owing to the struggle between Saladin's See also:brothers and his sons for the See also:inheritance of his territories. The truce was disturbed by raids on both sides, but in 1204 it was renewed for six years. Amalric died in 1205, just after his son and just before his wife. The kingdom of Cyprus passed to See also:Hugh, his son by an earlier marriage, while that of Jerusalem passed to Maria, the daughter of Isabella by her previous marriage with See also:Conrad of See also:Montferrat.
