Throughout 200 years of its existence, the Kingdom of Jerusalem had one protector, 18 kings (including 7 jure uxoris) and five queens regnant.

Notes

  1. ^ She was the untitiled royal consort of Amalric I from her husband's accession to their marriage annulment.
  2. ^ After Baldwin III's death, the Haute Cour refused to endorse Amalric as king unless his marriage to Agnes was annulled. She was never a titled Queen consort, although Agnes continued to hold the title Countess of Jaffa and Ascalon and received a pension from that fief's income.
