  Notes	http://www.hull.ac.uk/php/cssbct/cgi-bin/gedlkup.php/n=royal?royal03202 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrad_of_Montferrat (Medical):Conrad's kingship was confirmed by election in April 1192. The news was brought to the couple in Tyre by Count Henry II of Champagne , the nephew of both the Kings of England and of France, who then returned to Acre. Only a few days later, on 28 April, Isabella and her ladies were late for dinner through lingering at the hammam . Conrad called on the Bishop of Beauvais, hoping to dine with him, but finding the bishop had already dined, set off back to the palace. On the way, he was set upon in the street and stabbed by Hashshashin . He died of his wounds that same day. Isabella was already known to be carrying their first child - Maria of Montferrat , who later succeeded her mother as queen regnant
