In 1372, due to a dispute with the Venetians during the coronation of King Pierre II, the Genoese invaded Cyprus and taking advantage of the usual disputes between the Lusignans, conquered Famagusta.

Will happen on January 2, 1425

Description

Cyprus is a poor country, and some of our subjects make a good living from assaulting the Muslim merchant ships and pillaging the coast of Egypt. In fact, the royal navy is being used for such purposes, because we are after all a crusading state and the Muslims are a legitimate prey. Barsbey, ruler of the Mamluks, has raided Limassol to demonstrate us that he will not tolerate such practices. A prudent ruler would seek an understanding with the Mamluks.

The two armies clashed at the battle of Khirokitia, but the cypriot peasants did not hold, and Janus army was destroyed and the King captured. The Mamluks proceeded to sack Nicosia, burning the palace and taking thousands of slaves. With the slaves and the King, the Mamluks finally left for Cairo.

Description

As the last Kings of Jerusalem, the Lusignans were great defenders of the Catholic faith, often in collusion with their Greek subjects. The decision of Jean II to marry Helen Paléologue, daughter of Theodore II of Morea, and granddaughter of the Basileos Rhomaion Manuel II (Emperor of Byzantium) was unprecedented and well received by the Cypriot-Greeks. Through her patronage, local Greek culture flourished and royal power was strengthened. Her actions naturally alarmed the Catholic Franks but they couldn't depose her without upsetting the Cypriot-Greeks who revered her as a heroine.

Cyprus — Not random

Will happen on July 2, 1457

Description

Helena Palaelogus was a dominant, intrigant Queen. She gave Jean a daughter, princess Charlotte. Queen Helena did not take well that Jean had a son, Jacques, from her mistress Marietta Patras, to the point of biting her nose off. When Charlotte was fourteen, Helena married her daughter to Joao of Coimbra, grandson of Joao I of Portugal. But Joao proved to be too strong minded and opposed the Queen pro-orthodox policies, so a year later she had him poisoned by her foster-brother the Chamberlain Thomas. Charlotte called from help from her half-brother Jacques, who had the Queen's foster-brother Thomas murdered. King Jean, who loved his 15 year old son very much, and had previously made him archbishop of Nicosia, responded to the Queen's wrath by sending him to Rhodes, were he was well received for opposing the orthodox Queen.

Cyprus — Not random

Will happen on July 27, 1458

Description

Whith the new marriage of Charlotte to her cousin Louis, son of the Duke of Savoy, already arranged, both Helena and Jean died within three months. Charlotte was only seventeen and fell under control of the high court. But Jacques, one year younger, was soon to know that he was persona-non-grata to the nobles. He was forbidden from entering the palace, and was impeded from attending the coronation, that as archbishop of Nicosia he should have officiated. Jacques, as the favourite of his father, had expected to inherit the Kingdom, indeed a possibility had Jean lived longer. But now he had few supporters if any. He had a bad press in the west and the Pope, the Hospitallers and Savoy were strong supporters of his half-sister. The Genoese were, as always, his enemies. So he went to Cairo, where he gained the support of Cyprus suzerain, the Mamluk bey, that as a Muslim and strange to the concept of bastardy, could not understand that the crown of his viceroyalty could be given to a woman.

Description

Jacques, supported only by the Mamluks, was in a weak position, should Savoy or Genoa attempt to overthrow him. A possibility increased by the refusal of Pope Pius II to recognize him as sovereign of Cyprus. He also needed a bride. Some nobles and the Pope suggested Zoe Palaeologus, daughter of the last Despot of Morea, and granddaughter of the last Basileos of Byzantium. The Venetians proposed to find him a Venetian bride between the noble families of the Republic, thus increasing their support to him.

Description

Pius II rejected to recognize Jacques, faithful to his support of Charlotte. The recognition would temporarily be granted by the Venetian Pope Paul II in 1467, and later reverted by Sixtus IV. But it came too late. The marriage to Zoe (Sophia) Palaeologus falled through, and she later married to the Grand Duke of Muscovy, Ivan III, taking as her dowry the double headed eagle of Byzantium to the Romanov. Still an outcast, Jacques was falling more and more under Venetian tutelage.

Description

The Venetian Corner, rich landowners in Cyprus, long time lenders and even coucilors to the Lusignans, proposed their fourteen years old relative Caterina Cornaro, who had a few drops of the Palaeologus blood from a Trebizond emperor grand-grandfather. The negotiations took time because the Venetians insisted that the bride had to be no mere royal consort, but full Queen and heir to the Kingdom. The married by proxy took place at the Hall of the Signoria of the ducal palace on July 1468. But due to the outstanding situation of Cyprus to control the trade route with levant, a new candidate appeared. Ferrante I of Naples is offering his daughter Leonora as a bride to us. This is upsetting the Venetians very much. Their envoy Domenico Gradenigo has threatened with supporting Charlotte if we join their enemy of Naples. Be aware that the Venetians are our only friends.

Description

When finally Jacques II Lusignan sent for her bride Caterina Cornaro, and had her crowned with the triple crown of Cyprus, Armenia, and Jerusalem, he sealed his destiny. A few months later, Andrea Cornaro and Marco Bembo, uncle and cousin of Caterina, took him on a hunting party during which he fell violently ill dying a week later. Caterina was now the Queen until the birth of the child, and the Venetians took control of the Regency Council. The Greek population had endured the pesky Lusignans, and did not care who between the Latins was the master, but the nobility was apalled, and soon started conspiring with the Catalans in the court.

Description

Ferrante I of Naples did not give up on Cyprus. He had the support of the Catalan party in the court, and he obtained a letter from the anti-Venetian Pope Sixtus VI denouncing Andrea Cornaro and Marco Bembo as murderers of Jacques, addressed to one of the conspirators, the archbishop of Nicosia, Luis Perez Fabregues. With Napolitan reinforcements the coup took place. The Catalans killed the uncle and cousin of Queen Caterina and her personal surgeon in front of her eyes and kept her prisoner. The plan was to marry Charla, illegitimate daughter of Jacques, to Alonso, illegitimate son of Ferrante that had been adopted by Charlotte. But the Venetians were not going to sit still, and they sent a military expedition to rescue Caterina. The conspirators jumped into the Napolitan galleys and left the island. If the conspirators had had more support, perhaps they would have stayed, but that would mean a war with Venice for sure. But it would be a better idea to marry Alonso to Caterina

Description

The tragedy was not finished for young Caterina Cornaro. At 20 years of age she had seen too many people die, but now it was her son, the King Jacques III Lusignan who died while she was preparing his first birthday party. With him, the Lusignan dinasty became extinct. It also meant the last of the Frankish Kingdoms in Levant and the end of a dream built over blood. By virtue of having named her -Daughter of St. Mark-, Venice became the heir of the Kingdom of Cyprus, but only under condition for her to not re-marry or have any children. Her destiny had also been sealed. Her life would be spared, but her freedom had disappeared. She would always be watched and controlled. Perhaps due to her tragedy, Caterina won the love of her Greek subjects, that for the first time supported a Latin ruler.

Description

The Venetians were always worried that Cyprus could be lost when they were so close to get it, and only their relationship with Egypt stopped them. With time they were starting to get more and more nervous. They even removed, Marietta Patra, mother of Jacques II together with the three illegitamate children of her son, Eugene, Jean and Charla as prisoners to Padua in 1476, where Charla, who had signed a marriage contract with Alonso of Naples, died soon after. But Caterina was still young, and there were always talks of diplomats attempting to get to her with marriage offers. Ferrante was entertaining the idea of marrying her to Alonso, a plan she could have favored. Nothing could actually happen, since she was not allowed out of sight, and she could not sign a paper without permission. But the growing Ottoman menace and Ferrante's plans moved Venice to accelerate the take over.

When she refused she was threatened with the retreat of the venetian forces that kept the Turks from taking over the island. Her last remark was: -Are not my lords of Venice content to have their island when I am dead, that they would deprive me thus soon of what my husband left me?. She was given a pension and the lordship of Asolo. Agreement was obtained from the bey of the Mamluks, suzerain of the island.

Description

The country is at peace and we need to look to the future of our Kingdom. We only have one legal claimant, Herion Lusignan, second cousin to late Jacques II, he is also the papal candidate, but he has no support within the Kingdom. We also have three candidates that could start a new dynasty for Cyprus. Alonso d'Aragona, son of King Ferrante of Naples is the candidate of the Catalan faction in the High Council. He is willing to marry Caterina if we support him. He would implicate us in Italian policies. The Frankish nobles support Antoine de Valois-Burgundy, known as the Great Bastard, son of Philip the Good, who will make good our crusading destiny and implicate us in French policies. Finally we have been able to find a heir to the Byzantine empire, Boniface III Palaeologus, margrave of Montferrat. He is the favourite of our Greek subjects and would direct us towards Greek policies. By an irony of history, he is also a descendant of Boniface of Montferrat, the leader of the fourth crusade.
