Amalric, Lord of Tyre

Amalric of Lusignan (c. 1272–1310), Lord of Tyre, was a younger son of King Hugh III of Cyprus. He fought at the fall of Tripoli in 1289 and commanded the Accursed Tower at Acre in 1291, escaping.

In 1300 he sought to coordinate an attack on the Mamluks with Ghazan's Mongols and occupied Ruad, but the Mongols never arrived. In 1306, backed by the Templars and barons, he deposed his epileptic brother Henry II and governed Cyprus as regent.

A rising for Henry failed in 1308, and in 1310 Amalric exiled him to Armenia. He was murdered at Nicosia the same year, after which Henry regained the throne.
