List of Queens of Jerusalem


This is a list of Queens of Jerusalem, from 1099 to 1291.
Throughout 200 years of its existence, the Kingdom of Jerusalem had one protector, 18 kings and five queens regnant. Six women were queens consort, i.e. queens as wives of the kings. Some of them were highly influential in the country's history, having ruled as regents for their minor children and heirs, as well as having a great influence over their spouses. Many kings of Jerusalem died unmarried or as children.
