Philippe II de Toucy

Philippe's mother was Lucia, Countess of Tripoli and titular princess of Antioch, daughter of Bohemond VI of Antioch and Sibylla of Armenia. His father was Narjot de Toucy, Lord of Laterza, captain general of the Kingdom of Albania and admiral of the Kingdom of Sicily, son of Philippe de Toucy, regent of the Latin Empire of Constantinople, and Portia de Roye.[1]

When the Mamluks captured Tripoli in 1289, his parents headed to the Kingdom of Naples. His father, Narjot, died in 1293, and his mother did not remarry, so Philippe inherited his father's fief.

In 1299, Philippe married Eleanor of Anjou, daughter of Charles II of Anjou, King of Naples. Lucia died that same year, and her son inherited the title of Prince of Antioch and Count of Tripoli. However, his marriage to Eleanor was dissolved on 17 January 1300 by Pope Boniface VIII, because they were related and had not asked the pope for dispensation to marry.[2] The exact date of his death is unknown though not far away in 1300, as the nominal rights over Antioch and Tripoli passed that year to Margaret of Antioch-Lusignan, daughter of Henry of Antioch.
