	Catfight in the Great Palace: Maria of Antioch versus Maria Porphyrogenita (September 1180 - late 1182)

		Maria of Antioch was the third child (and second daughter) of Constance of Antioch, the heiress of Bohemond II of Antioch, and Raymond of Poitiers, a handsome, charming and strongly-built adventurer who was selected to marry Constance when he was 37 and she was a mere girl of nine.
		Maria was probably born in the mid-to-late 1140's, because her father met his death in battle against the Arabs in the summer of 1149 (it is said that Raymond's skull was made into a silver drinking chalice by Nur-ed-Din and sent as a gift to the Abbasid caliph in Baghdad).

		Written by Anna Comnena, the daughter of the Byzantine Emperor Alexius I (1083-1153), this is the recollections by the princess of the Crusades as it occurred in her father's court during his reign.
		Comnena has a very good grasp of those things we would not expect a young lady of the court at that time to have.
		By and large, Comnena is remarkably objective and a graceful writer, at least in this translation (where her occasional rambling asides are generally shifted into footnotes).

	Baldwin IV of Jerusalem (The Leper King)
		Sibylla was being raised by her great-aunt, Ioveta or Yvette, (the youngest sister of Baldwin's grandmother, Queen Melisende), in the convent of Bethany, and Isabella was at the court of her mother, the dowager queen Maria Comnena, in Nablus.

	OY VEY, JERUSALEM!
		After the defeat at Hattin, Balian returned to Jerusalem, already besieged by Saladin, to get his wife out—who was actually Maria Comnena, grand-niece of the Byzantine emperor and dowager queen of Jerusalem (she had been married to Amalric, the king before Baldwin IV).
		Balian intended to flee with her to Christian-held territory on the coast, and secured Saladin's permission to enter the city on condition that he take an oath to stay only one night.
		In reality, he fled with Maria Comnena to the rump Crusader state on the coast, where he remained an important lord, fighting alongside Richard.
