== Family == Raynald's first wife, [[Constance of Antioch]] (born in 1128), was the only daughter of [[Bohemond II of Antioch]] and [[Alice of Antioch|Alice of Jerusalem]].{{sfn|Runciman|1989|p=183, Appendix III (Genealogical tree No. 2)}} Constance succeeded her father in Antioch in 1130.{{sfn|Runciman|1989|p=183}} Six years later, she was given in marriage to [[Raymond of Poitiers]] who died in 1149.{{sfn|Runciman|1989|p=199}} The widowed Constance's marriage to Raynald is described as "the misalliance of the century" by Hamilton,{{sfn|Hamilton|2000|p=98}} but Buck emphasises that "the marriage went unmentioned in Western chronicles".{{sfn|Buck|2017|p=78}} Buck adds that Raynald's relatively low birth "actually made him the ideal candidate" to marry the widowed princess who had a son with a strong claim to rule upon reaching the age of majority, and Raynald was possibly "expected to eventually step aside".{{sfn|Buck|2017|p=79}} The daughter of Raynald and Constance, [[Agnes of Antioch|Agnes]], moved to Constantinople in early 1170 to marry [[Béla III of Hungary|Alexios-Béla]], the younger brother of [[Stephen III of Hungary]], who lived in the Byzantine Empire.{{sfn|Makk|1994|pp=47, 91}} Agnes was renamed Anna in Constantinople.{{sfn|Makk|1994|p=47}} Her husband succeeded his brother as Béla{{nbsp}}III of Hungary in 1172.{{sfn|Makk|1994|p=91}} She followed her husband to Hungary, where she gave birth to seven children before she died around 1184.{{sfn|Makk|1994|p=47}} Raynald and Constance's second daughter, Alice, became the third wife of [[Azzo VI of Este]] in 1204.{{sfn|Chiappini|2001|p=31}} Raynald also had a son, [[Baldwin of Antioch|Baldwin]], from Constance, according to Hamilton and Buck, but Runciman says that Baldwin was Constance's son from her first husband.{{sfn|Buck|2017|p=83}}{{sfn|Hamilton|2000|pp=xviii, 40–41}}{{sfn|Runciman|1989|p=365, Appendix III (Genealogical tree No. 2)}} Baldwin moved to Constantinople in the early 1160s.{{sfn|Runciman|1989|p=365}} He died fighting at the head of a Byzantine cavalry regiment in the [[Battle of Myriokephalon]] on 17{{nbsp}}September 1176.{{sfn|Runciman|1989|p=413}} Raynald's second wife, [[Stephanie of Milly, Lady of Oultrejordain|Stephanie of Milly]], was the younger{{sfn|Hamilton|2000|p=90}} daughter of [[Philip of Milly]], Lord of Nablus, and Isabella of Oultrejordain.{{sfn|Runciman|1989|p=335 (note 1), Appendix III (Genealogical tree No. 4)}} She was born around 1145.{{sfn|Runciman|1989|p=441 (note 1)}} Her first husband, Humphrey{{nbsp}}III of Toron, died around 1173.{{sfn|Hamilton|2000|p=92}} She inherited Oultrejordain from her niece, Beatrice Brisbarre, shortly before she married [[Miles of Plancy]] in early 1174.{{sfn|Hamilton|2000|p=92}} Miles of Plancy was murdered in October 1174.{{sfn|Baldwin|1969|p=592 (note 592)}}{{sfn|Hamilton|2000|p=90}}
