Elinand of Tiberias
Elinand of Tiberias (also Elinard , lat. Helinandus Tyberiadensis , * in the 11th or 12th century, † after August 1148 ) was Prince of Galilee .
Life
According to Hans Eberhard Mayer , after the death of King Fulkos in 1143, Wilhelm von Bures was deposed as Prince of Galilee by Queen Melisende and Elinand was installed in his place. Accordingly, contrary to what is assumed in older literature, Elinand was not a nephew of Wilhelm and the family name von Bures used in older literature for Elinand was incorrect. Instead, he might have been related to Walter von Saint-Omer .
At the end of 1144 he led an army together with Manasses von Hierges and Philipp von Nablus to relieve the besieged Edessa , but the city had already fallen to Zengi when he arrived. In response to the fall of Edessa, the Second Crusade arrived in the Holy Land in 1148 . Elinand was present in June 1148 as a representative of his principality at the Council of Acre, at which the siege of Damascus was decided, which failed miserably and whereupon the crusade was broken off.
The exact date of his death is not known - he probably died shortly after the failure of the siege of Damascus in August 1148. Simon von Bures , the nephew of his predecessor Wilhelm, followed him in the principality in 1152 at the latest , until he was exiled in 1153 after the death of Queen Melisende could return.
Elinand was probably married to Ermengarde († 1160/67), a daughter of the barisan von Ibelin .
