William of Montferrat, Count of Jaffa and Ascalon
William Longsword (1140s – June 1177) was a member of the House of Montferrat from northern Italy who became the count of Jaffa and Ascalon in the Kingdom of Jerusalem. As a cousin of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and King Louis VII of France, William was chosen by the High Court of Jerusalem to marry Sibylla, the heir presumptive to the kingdom. William may have expected to rule in the name of her young and sick brother, King Baldwin IV. He arrived in the kingdom in late 1176, but the nobility were no longer well-disposed to the proposed match. William nevertheless married Sibylla and as her husband, received Jaffa and Ascalon.
