Conrad of Montferrat was one of the major participants in the Third Crusade, and was briefly king of Jerusalem in 1192.
Conrad had fought as an ally of Isaac II Angelus of Byzantium, and was married to Isaac's daughter Theodora.
Conrad's brother Boniface of Montferrat was the leader of the Fourth Crusade; their brother Rainier was a son-in-law of Manuel Comnenus, and another brother, William[?], was the father of Baldwin V of Jerusalem.
However, due to the preaching of Fulk of Neuilly, a crusading army was finally organized at a tournament held at Ãcry by Count Thibaud of Champagne in 1199.
Boniface and the other leaders sent envoys to Venice, Genoa, and other city-states to negotiate a contract for transport to Egypt, the object of their crusade; one of the envoys was the future historian Geoffrey of Villehardouin.
Boniface was not elected as the new emperor, although the citizens seemed to consider him as such; the Venetians thought he had too many connections with the former empire because of his brother, Rainier of Montferrat, who had been married to Maria Comnena, empress in the 1170s and 80s.
