HENRI (29 Jul 1166-Acre 10 Sep 1197). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Henricus et Theobaldus" as sons of "comes Henricus Trecensis" & his wife[24]. William of Tyre (Continuator) names him and specifies that he was nephew of Philippe II King of France[25]. He succeeded his father in 1181 as HENRI II Comte de Champagne et de Brie. Robert of Torigny records the death in 1182 of "Henricus comes Trecensis" and the succession of "Henricus filius eius natus ex filia Ludovici regis Francorum"[26]. He ruled under the regency of his mother during his minority 1181-1186. He left on the Third Crusade and was in command of the siege operations at Acre in 1190[27]. After the murder of Corrado di Monferrato, Comte Henri hurried to Tyre, where he was acclaimed as the suitable candidate to marry Corrado's widow the heiress of the kingdom of Jerusalem, and within two days his betrothal was announced[28]. He succeeded in 1192 as HENRI King of Jerusalem, by right of his wife, but was never crowned king[29]. Together with Richard I King of England, he signed a five year peace treaty with Saladin 2 Sep 1192, under which the coastal towns as far south as Jaffa were ceded to the Christians who were also given the right to visit the holy places in Jerusalem[30]. He appointed Jean of Ibelin as Constable of Jerusalem in 1194, considering that Amaury de Lusignan had forfeited the post after being arrested for supporting the Pisan revolt in Tyre[31]. Following the succession of Amaury de Lusignan as Lord of Cyprus in 1194, the two parties planned an alliance, sealed by the betrothal of Amaury's three young sons to Comte Henri's three young daughters[32]. Comte Henri died after accidentally falling through a window in his palace at Acre[33]. The necrology of Sens cathedral records the death "VIII Id Sep" of "Henricus comes Campanie"[34]. Betrothed (1179) to ISABELLE de Hainaut, daughter of BAUDOUIN V Comte de Hainaut [later BAUDOUIN VIII Count of Flanders] & his wife Marguerite de Flandres [later Marguerite I Ctss of Flanders] (Valenciennes 23 Apr 1170-Paris 15 Mar 1190, bur Notre Dame, Paris). The Chronicon Hanoniense records the betrothal in 1179 of "Elizabeth filia comitis Hanoniensis" and "Henrico filio comitis Trecensis"[35]. Betrothed (1181, contract broken [1187]) to YOLANDE de Flandre, daughter of BAUDOUIN VIII Count of Flanders [BAUDOUIN V Comte de Hainaut] & his wife Marguerite Ctss of Flanders ([1175]-Constantinople 24 or 26 Aug 1219). The Chronicon Hanoniense records the marriage in 1181 of "Yolandem Balduini comitis Hanoniensis filiam" and "Henricus primus comitis Campanensis filius"[36], but this was presumably only a betrothal as such a marriage is unrecorded elsewhere. According to Gade[37], Henri II Comte de Champagne was still betrothed to a daughter of Baudouin V Comte de Hainaut when his betrothal to Ermesinde de Namur was arranged. Presumably this was Yolande. Betrothed (1187, broken 1190) to ERMENSENDE de Namur, daughter of HENRI "l'Aveugle" Comte de Luxembourg & his second wife Agnes van Geldern (Jul 1186-17 Feb 1247). This betrothal was arranged by Henri Comte de Namur et de Luxembourg in order to guarantee a suitably strong protector for his infant daughter in light of his dispute with Baudouin V Comte de Hainaut regarding the eventual succession to his counties, but the arrangement was discontinued after the 1190 imperial decision in favour of Comte Baudouin[38]. m (5 May 1192) as her third husband, ISABELLE of Jerusalem, widow firstly of HONFROY [IV] of Toron, and secondly of CORRADO Marchese di Monferrato, daughter of AMAURY I King of Jerusalem & his second wife Maria Komnene (1172-[May 1206]). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Isabella" as wife of "comes Campaniensis Henricus…comes et princeps…in Acra"[39]. She married fourthly (Apr/Oct 1198) Amaury King of Cyprus and Jerusalem, and was crowned [Jan] 1198 at Acre as ISABELLE Queen of Jerusalem with her fourth husband. Comte Henri II & his wife had three children
