Lucia of Segni
Lucia of Segni, also called Lucienne, was a 13th-century princess and countess and later regent of the Principality of Antioch and County of Tripoli. She was regent on behalf of her minor son in 1252.
Lucia was born into the family of the
bishop of Tripoli.[5]
Lucia and Bohemond V had two children,
Latin East on the Seventh Crusade and encamped in Jaffa, mediated in the dispute between mother and son.[7] The dowager princess, thus deprived of power, was compensated with a substantial income.[6] She nevertheless succeeded in keeping Romans in important posts after her regency, leading to an unsuccessful baronial rebellion against her son.[8]
