AMALRIC II., king from I197 to 1205, was the brother of Guy of Lusignan. He married Isabella, the daughter of Amalric I., by his second 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 Mohammedans, owing to the struggle between Saladin's brothers and his sons for the 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. The kingdom of Cyprus, which he had inherited from his brother, passed to Hugh, his son by an earlier marriage; while that of Jerusalem fell to Maria, the daughter of Isabella, by her previous marriage with Conrad of Montferrat.
