Meanwhile, probably around 1141, Barisan was granted the newly constructed castle of Ibelin by king Fulk of Jerusalem.
This may have been a reward for Barisan's support for Fulk during the rebellion of count Hugh II of Jaffa several years earlier in 1134, but it may also have been intended as compensation for the upcoming loss of Ramla and Mirabel.
However, Renier died without children sometime between 1146 and 1148, and Ramla and Mirabel passed back to Helvis and Barisan.
Around the same time, Melisende's son Baldwin III of Jerusalem reached the age of majority and claimed his right to the kingdom.
[4] Helvis' sons supported Baldwin III, possibly because they were offended by Melisende's arrangement of Manasses' marriage to their mother and their subsequent loss of access to Ramla and Mirabel.
