Guido I. Brisebarre

Guido I. Brisebarre († after 1148 ) was Lord of Beirut in the Kingdom of Jerusalem .

Guido Brisebarre was the brother of Walter I. Brisebarre , who had been lord of Beirut since 1125/26.

In 1127, King Baldwin II of Jerusalem sent him to France , together with the Templar master Hugo von Payns and Wilhelm I von Bures , to find a husband for the heir to the throne of Jerusalem, Baldwin's daughter Melisende . In the spring of 1129 they traveled back to the Holy Land with Count Fulko V of Anjou , where they arrived in May.

In 1138 at the latest, Guido signed as Lord of Beirut. Presumably his brother Walter had died before and Guido followed him.

In 1148 he took part in the Council of Acre .

He probably had two sons who inherited him after his death:

• Walter II Brisebarre († 1169), Lord of Beirut, later Templar;
• Guido II Brisebarre († before 1164), Lord of Beirut.

Due to a lack of primary sources about the death of Guido I and his brother Walter II, the view is sometimes taken that Guido I and Guido II, as well as Walter I and Walter II, are identical people. Together they would have been Lords of Beirut.
