At the beginning of February 1181 or 1182 she married Prince Ruben III in Jerusalem . of Lesser Armenia († 1187). With him she had two daughters:

⚭ 2) 1214 Theodoros Komnenos Laskaris , Byzantine Emperor of Nicaea.

When her brother Humfried IV of Toron died in 1192, Isabella inherited his claims to the rule of Toron, which, however, had been occupied by the Muslim Ayyubids since 1187 . When her mother died in 1197, she inherited her rights to the rule of Oultrejordain, which had been occupied by Ayyubids since 1189.

Isabella's date of death is unknown. Her heiress was the elder daughter Alice, who regained government over the rule of Toron in 1229.
