Regency
Isabella's brother, King Henry I of Cyprus, died in 1253.Шаблон:Sfn He was succeeded by his minor son, King Hugh II. Hugh was then regarded as heir presumptive of King Conrad III of Jerusalem, who lived in Europe, and was entitled to rule the mainland kingdom too as regent. But since Hugh also required a regent on the account of his minority, it was his mother, Plaisance of Antioch, who governed.Шаблон:Sfn Queen Plaisance died in 1261. As the young king's only surviving aunt and closest relative, Isabella was entitled to be the next regent of Cyprus. She stood aside and allowed her son, Hugh of Antioch, to take up the regency.Шаблон:Sfn Hugh of Brienne, though son of the elder aunt, did not counter his claim. In 1264 he said the reason was his respect for his aunt who raised him.Шаблон:Sfn
The right to exercise regency of Jerusalem on behalf of the minor regent remained unclaimed by his family until 1263. Isabella stepped forward only after the Mamluk ruler of Egypt, Baibars, attacked Acre, the seat of the royal government.Шаблон:Sfn She then came to Acre with her husband, Henry. The law stated that the claimant to bailliage had to bring their ward when appearing before the High Court of Jerusalem. Since Isabella failed to do so, the High Court restricted her ruleШаблон:Sfn and refused to do homage and fealty to her.Шаблон:Sfn She then returned to Cyprus, leaving Henry to act on her behalf.Шаблон:Sfn She died in 1264, likely in the latter half of the year.Шаблон:Sfn
