Baldwin of Ibelin, Seneschal of Cyprus

Baldwin of Ibelin [In contemporary records "messier Bauduyn ceneschal de Chipre", "Bauduin de Ybelin seneschal de Chipre", or "Baduin de Iblim senescalco de Cypro".] (died 21 February 1267) was the fourth of five sons of John I of Beirut and his second wife Melisende.

He commanded the third "battaile" at the Battle of Agridi in 1232. In 1246, he was appointed Seneschal of Cyprus and was taken captive at the Battle of Mansurah in 1250.

Baldwin married Alix, daughter of Walter III of Bethsan and Theodora Comnena Lathoumena. She was called "la Seneschalece" and she gave him six children:
*John, married Isabelle Rivet
*Philip, Constable of Cyprus
*Guy, married Maria, daughter of Hetoum I of Armenia and Zabel
*Balian, married Marguerite Visconte
*Hugh, regent of Cyprus in 1306
*Melisende, died young
