Aymar de Lairon

Aymar de Lairon (died 1219), also Adeymar, Adémar or Aimerich, was the Lord of Caesarea in right of his wife (jure uxoris) from at least 1193 until her death between 1213 and 1216. During this period he was a prominent figure in the kingdom. After his wife's death he became the Marshal of the Knights Hospitaller until his own death in battle.

Lord of Caesarea

Aymar witnessed a charter of King Henry I of Jerusalem in 1193, subscribing as Azemarus Cesariensis dominus ("Aymar, Caesarean lord"). He subscribed a second royal act with the same title the next year (1194). The wife in whose right he held the title, Juliana, is not herself recorded using the feminine equivalent (Lady of Caesarea) until 1197, when together they confirmed a grant made by her brother, Walter II, on his deathbed. Between 1201 and 1213 he and his wife jointly issued a number of charters.

Aymar was a leading baron of the Kingdom of Jerusalem during the reigns of Henry I (1192–97), Amalric II (1197–1205) and John (1210–15). He witnessed royal charters in 1193, 1194, 1200, 1211 and 1212. He also witnessed a charter issued the regent John of Ibelin in 1206. In 1208 he was part of the embassy dispatched to France by the Haute Cour to find a suitable husband for the young queen, Mary. He was present when that husband, John, was crowned at Tyre in 1210.
