	At her coronation, however, when asked to name her consort, it was Guy whom she named. Raymond of Tripoli, who had been Baldwin's [[regent]], led a challenge, apparently supporting Isabella and her husband, Humphrey of Toron. He ought, perhaps to have consulted Humphrey, who was step-son to Raynald of Chatillon, who supported Guy, and who refused to take the crown, and swore fealty to Guy and Sybilla. Raymond left the realm, returning to Tripoli, and Isabella's step-uncle, Baldwin of Ibelin (popularly supposed to have been the true power behind Isabella) went to [[Antioch]] rather than remain under Sybilla.
