Henri de Milly

Early life Henry was the son of Guy of Milly, lord of Nablus, and Stephanie the Fleming. He was the brother of , seneschal of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and Philip of Milly, lord of Transjordan and grand master of the Knights Templar.

Career Henry appears in 1155 as a witness to a charter in which Queen Melisende of Jerusalem confirms a donation from Hugh of Ibelin and Baldwin of Ibelin to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and another charter in the same year in which Philip of Milly made a donation to the Order of St. Lazarus. He also witnessed a charter of King Amalric in 1164.

Marriage One manuscript of the Lignages d'Outremer indicates that the wife of "Henry the Buffalo" was the sister of Reginald, lord of Sidon," but this seems unlikely, as Reginald's parents married in around 1138. Another manuscript of the Lignages d'Outremer mentions "Girart and Gautier, and Agnes who married Henry the Buffalo" as the children of "Gerard Grenier … lord of Caesarea" and his wife "Agnes, the niece of the patriarch Ernoul of Jerusalem" but this statement is also an anachronism. Regardless, it seems certain that Agnes is a member of the Grenier family, and the most likely solution is that she is the daughter of Gerard Grenier.

In any case, the couple had children: , who married Adam III of Bethsan Stephanie of Milly, who was married firstly to William Dorel, lord of Botron, then to Hugh III Embriaco, lord of Gibelet Agnes of Milly, who married Joscelin of Courtenay, titular count of Edessa Sibille of Milly, who married Eustace "le Petit"
