Which John of Ibelin is his father? John of Ibelin, the Old Lord of Beirut, married Melisende of Arsuf, and he had a son named Guy, but that family lived too early for this Guy. Adam Bishop 06:22, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, nevermind, apparently he was the son of the jurist (and Maria of Armenia, not Melisende of Arsuf). Adam Bishop 03:50, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused too. That John of Ibelin died in 1266. So how could he be the father of Guy of Ibelin, who supposedly wasn't born until 1276? Or did they have sperm banks back then?.... --Elonka 00:44, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still not finding any confirmation that this Guy of Ibelin was born in 1276. More likely the birthyear is 1250. Until/unless we can find a solid source, I recommend that we move this page to Guy of Ibelin (died 1304). Any objections? --Elonka 02:57, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(followup) Since there was no objection, I went ahead and moved the page. --Elonka 03:27, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
