The House of Grenier was a prominent noble family of the The Crusades, based in Jerusalem. In 1010 they were granted the Lordships of Sidon and Caesarea (Sidon was later raised to a county).

History

Siege of Sidon (1260)

Sidon was captured in December, 1110 and given to Eustace Grenier.[2] The lordship was a coastal strip on the Mediterranean Sea between Tyre and Beirut. It was conquered by Saladin in 1187 and remained in Muslim hands until it was restored to Christian control by German Crusaders in the Crusade of 1197. Julian Grenier sold it to the Knights Templar in the 13th century, but it was later destroyed by the Mongols in 1260 after the Battle of Ain Jalut and its ruins were captured by the Mamluks. One of the vassals of the lordship was the Lordship of the Shuf.

Caesarea was granted to Eustace Grenier in 1010.[3] The House of Grenier continued to rule Ceasarea until it became property of John Aleman by right of his marriage to Margaret Grenier in 1238 or 1243.
