Rupen of Montfort [SEP] date of death
Rupen of Montfort
Rupen of Montfort (died 8 September 1313) was a Cypriot nobleman, the second surviving son of Humphrey of Montfort and Eschive d'Ibelin.
In 1299, Rupen married Marie d'Ibelin (d. aft. 1340), daughter of Balian of Ibelin, Seneschal of Cyprus. They had two children:
- Humphrey of Montfort, titular Lord of Beirut
- Jeanne of Montfort, married in 1322 Balian of Ibelin, son of Guy, Count of Jaffa.
His elder brother Amalric died in 1304,
- Amaury of Montfort (died 1304)
- Rupen of Montfort (died 1313)
In 1282, upon the death of his sister-in-law Isabella of Ibelin, Eschive succeeded her as lady of Beirut. When Humphrey's older brother Jean died in 1283, Humphrey was allowed to succeed to Jean's Lordship of Tyre by King Hugh III of Cyprus, who had a few years earlier confirmed the Montforts in their possessions of Tyre but reserved the right to re-take the fiefdom if Jean died without issue
