In 1208, Alice's grandmother Maria Comnena, dowager queen of Jerusalem, conducted the marriage negotiations with Cyprus on behalf of 12-year-old Alice, and arranged her marriage to Hugh I of Cyprus, who was Alice's stepbrother. Blanche of Navarre, Regent and Countess of Champagne, widow of Alice's paternal uncle, provided the dowry for Alice.

From 1243 to 1246 she served as regent of Jerusalem for Conrad IV of Germany, her half-sister Maria's grandson.
