John of Montfort, Lord of Tyre

He was the son of Philip of Montfort (lord of La Ferté-Alais, of Bréthencourt, of Castres, of Toron and of Tyre), and his second wife Maria of Antioch-Armenia (the elder daughter of Raymond-Roupen of Antioch and hence Lady of Toron and pretender of Armenia).

On 22 September 1268 he married Margaret, daughter of Henry of Antioch and of Isabella of Cyprus.

On the occasion of this marriage, Hugh III confirmed Montfort's possession of Tyre but reserved the throne's right to retake the fiefdom if John and Margaret died without issue.

In 1270 his father was killed by the Assassins, and John succeeded to the lordship and governed Tyre until his death in 1283.

He had no children, so Hugh III allowed Humphrey of Montfort to succeed his brother.
