Aimery de Lusignan (c. 1145–1205), also called Amalric, son of Hugh VIII and brother of Guy, was King of Cyprus and King of Jerusalem simultaneously from 1197 to 1205. He is the first ruler under whom the two crowns were held in personal union; his reign established the dual titular style that his successors would inherit.
