List of queens of Jerusalem

This is a list of queens of Jerusalem, from 1099 to 1291.

Throughout 200 years of its existence, the Kingdom of Jerusalem had one protector, 18 kings (including 7 jure uxoris) and five queens regnant. Six women were queens consort, i.e. queens as wives of the kings. Some of them were highly influential in the country's history, having ruled as regents for their minor children and heirs, as well as having a great influence over their spouses. Many kings of Jerusalem died unmarried or as children.

^ She was the untitiled royal consort of Amalric I from her husband's accession to their marriage annulment.
^ After Baldwin III's death, the Haute Cour refused to endorse Amalric as king unless his marriage to Agnes was annulled. She was never a titled Queen consort, although Agnes continued to hold the title Countess of Jaffa and Ascalon and received a pension from that fief's income.
