Cyprus
Cyprus was a crusader kingdom of the House of Lusignan, ruled in 1337 by Hugh IV. Its port of Famagusta drew Genoese and Venetian merchants after Acre fell in 1291.
Hugh's son Peter I captured Antalya in 1361 and sacked Alexandria in 1365, before his knights murdered him in 1369. Genoese intervention from 1373 weakened the kingdom; a Mamluk invasion captured King Janus in 1426 and made Cyprus tributary. In 1489 Queen Catherine Cornaro was forced to sell the island to Venice.
