William of Mandelée
Wilhelm von Mandelée or Wilhelm von Amigdala ( lat. Willelmo de Amigdala , French Guillaume de Mandelée ; † around 1226) was an Italo-Norman crusader in the Kingdom of Jerusalem .
He came from Amigdalà in Calabria and went to the Holy Land as a crusader . There he married Agnes von Courtenay († after August 1200), the younger daughter of Joscelin III. from Edessa .
As Joscelin III. died around 1200, his fief in the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the so-called "Seigneurie de Joscelin" fell to Agnes' older sister Beatrix von Courtenay and her husband Otto von Botenlauben . In the following years Otto got into debt, so that he pledged parts of the seigneurie to Wilhelm. In 1220 Otto sold the Seigneurie to the Teutonic Order with the consent of Wilhelm
Wilhelm and Agnes left a son:
- Jakob von Mandelée (* around 1200; † after 1244), ∞ II Alice von Caesarea, daughter of Walter III. from Caesarea .
