Garnier L'Aleman
Werner of Egisheim (died after 1231) was a German Crusader, better known by his French name of Garnier l’Aleman (''Werner the German''). Belonging to a German noble family from Egisheim in Alsace, he is first recorded in Acre in the entourage of a count Berthold, presumably Berthold, Duke of Merania, who besieged Acre during the Third Crusade in 1190. Berthold withdrew by spring 1191 and returned home, but Werner remained in the Holy Land. In May 1206 one Otto von Henneberg issued a certificate with "Wernerus de Egisheim" as a witness. From September 1210 Werner and Philip of Ibelin were responsible for the defence of Acre whilst the rest of the Crusader nobility attended the coronation of Maria of Montferrat and John of Brienne in Tyre. In 1218 he and troops from the Republic of Genoa unsuccessfully tried to defend Caesarea from an Ayyubid assault.'' L'Estoire de Eracles empereur.'' In: '' Recueil des historiens des croisades.

Iure Uxoris
''Jure uxoris'' (a Latin phrase meaning "by right of (his) wife"), citing . describes a title of nobility used by a man because his wife holds the office or title ''suo jure'' ("in her own right"). Similarly, the husband of an heiress could become the legal possessor of her lands. For example, married women in England and Wales were legally prohibited from owning real estate until the Married Women's Property Act 1882. Middle Ages During the feudal era, the husband's control over his wife's real property, including titles, was substantial. On marriage, the husband gained the right to possess his wife's land during the marriage, including any acquired after the marriage. Whilst he did not gain the formal legal title to the lands, he was able to spend the rents and profits of the land and sell his right, even if the wife protested. The concept of ''jure uxoris'' was standard in the Middle Ages even for queens regnant. In the Kingdom of Jerusalem, Fulk V of Anjou, Guy of Lusignan, C ...

Biography Hugh III was the son of Hugh II Embriaco, Lord of Gibelet. Upon his father's death around 1184, he succeeded him as ruler of the city.
