==His daughter== {{main|Damsel of Cyprus}} Sources do not name the daughter of Isaac but usually call her the "Damsel of Cyprus". Upon the deposition of her father Isaac, she joined the court of Richard the Lionheart, and after the Third Crusade, she traveled back to England with the other ladies of his court, including [[Joan of England, Queen of Sicily|Joan of England]], sister of Richard, and [[Berengaria of Navarre]], now queen consort of England. In 1194, as part of ransom agreement of King Richard, the English released the Cypriot princess into the care of Leopold of Austria, a distant relative.<ref>Boyle, p.83, 182</ref> Later she lived in [[Provence]], where in 1199 she again encountered Joan, now married to [[Raymond VI, Count of Toulouse]]. After Joan's death in early September 1199, Raymond married the princess from Cyprus, but the marriage was annulled probably in late 1202. In 1203 she married [[Thierry of Flanders (flourished 1197β1207)|Thierry of Flanders]], an illegitimate son of Count [[Philip I of Flanders]]. The couple sailed from [[Marseille]] in 1204 with a convoy of warriors who intended to join the [[Fourth Crusade]], but on reaching Cyprus, they attempted to claim the island as inheritors of Isaac. The attempt failed, and they fled to Armenia.<ref>Boyle, p.268</ref>
