Pagan II (Haifa)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pagan II. ( French Payen , Latin Paganus Cayphæ dominus ; * before 1150, † before October 1198) was Lord of Haifa in the Kingdom of Jerusalem .

Life

He was the son of Vivian , Lord of Haifa , and his wife Beatrix. He himself married Hodierna, daughter of Joscelin Pisellus, in 1165 at the latest. With her he had two sons:

  • Rohard (II.) († before 1244), Lord of Haifa;
  • Rainald († after 1232), chamberlain of Jerusalem.

In 1165 he and his parents and wife made a donation to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. When his father died, he followed this as Lord of Haifa and for the first time as such on 1 June 1185 in a document of King Baldwin V. mentioned in documents.

Haifa was conquered by the Ayyubids under Saladin in July 1187 and the crusader castle there razed. Pagan fled to Tire and is documented there in May 1188 in a document from Conrad of Montferrat . Around 1190 Haifa was brought back under Christian control. During the Third Crusade and the conquest of Acre in 1191, he stayed in the wake of Conrad of Montferrat. At the end of the Third Crusade, when Richard the Lionheart left for Europe, King Heinrich returned the rule of Haifa to Pagan in October 1192 .

Pagan's date of death is not known, at the latest in October 1198 his son Rohard had succeeded him as Lord of Haifa.
