Barisan's origins are obscure. The Ibelins later claimed to be descended from the viscounts of Chartres, but according to Peter W. Edbury, Barisan was probably from northern Italy. According to Jonathan Riley-Smith, however, he may have indeed been connected to Chartres, as the brother of Hugh of Le Puiset, Count of Jaffa; he would then have also been a cousin to the Montlhéry family of King Baldwin II of Jerusalem. However, nothing certain is known of his life before 1115, when he appears as constable of Jaffa under Hugh.
Noted events in his life were:
• Acceded: Lord of Ramla, 1138. Lord of Ramla 1138-1150
Balian married Helvis [9541] [MRIN: 4086], daughter of Baldwin I of Ramla [9542] and Stephania [9543].
