The History Quiz
Hey all

Wanted to create something that would benefit us all and increase our knowledge.

Anyway, basically, someone asks a question then then the one who answers it correctly gets the chance to answer the second question, but not until the guy who asked the question says that the guy who answered was correct and its his turn.


neways, the question:

"And the first queen of Jerusalem is??"

good luck

Melisende (1105September 11, 1161) was Queen of Jerusalem from 1131 to 1153.
Melisende was the eldest daughter of King Baldwin II of Jerusalem and the Armenian princess Morphia of Melitene. She was named after her paternal grandmother, Melisende of Montlhery, wife of Hugh I, Count of Rethel. She had three younger sisters: Alice, princess of Antioch; Hodierna, countess of Tripoli; and Ioveta, abbess of St. Lazarus in Bethany.
It appears that Fox is the winner.

Arda was the wife of King Baldwin I of Jerusalem. She was the first queen of Jerusalem, as Baldwin's brother Godfrey of Bouillon was unmarried.
Her name is unrecorded in contemporary sources, but since the 17th century she has been traditionally called Arda. She was the daughter of a minor Armenian noble named Thathoul (or Thoros), lord of Marash. Baldwin married her in 1097 after the death of his first wife, Godehilde, who had travelled with him on the First Crusade. Thoros promised 60,000 bezants as a dowry. This was a politically convenient marriage, as Baldwin was the first Count of Edessa, a crusader state carved out of Armenian territory in Mesopotamia.
in 1097 after the death of his first wife, Godehilde, who had travelled with him on the First Crusade. Thoros promised 60,000 bezants as a dowry.

NOTE - Baldwin I of Jerusalem's wife.....predates Baldwin II's daughter...........
