Melisende of Tripoli was a princess from the Latin East who was betrothed to the Byzantine emperor Manuel I Komnenos. She was the daughter of Hodierna of Jerusalem and Count Raymond II of Tripoli. Her cousin King Baldwin III of Jerusalem suggested her as the bride to the emperor, who agreed. Preparations were made for the marriage, and the nobility of the Latin East considered Melisende the future Byzantine empress. After long delays, however, the emperor declared that he would not marry Melisende. This severely affected Byzantine relations with the Latin East.
