	Cyprus History: Lusignan Period - Foundations & The Rule of Guy de Lusisgnan
		The conditions of Cyprus on the arrival of Guy de Lusignan was pitiable, for the tyranny of Isaac Commenus followed by the massacre of Nicosia by the Templars had driven the better-class inhabitants from the island.
		But although obliged to provide for the needs of his own adherents, Guy was anxious to gain the sympathy of the native inhabitants of the island, and did his best to remedy the depopulation from which Cyprus had suffered.
		Guy himself was never crowned king of Cyprus, and, though he had held the crown of Jerusalem, his title was lord of Cyprus.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem
		It was largely due to the instrumentality of Renaud de Châtillon that the barons elected Guy of Lusignan, (1186-1192) and Sibylla sovereigns of Jerusalem.
		Incapable of defending his kingdom against Saladin, Guy was made prisoner at the battle of Tiberias (4 July, 1187), which was followed by the capture of Jerusalem (2 October), and purchased his liberty by yielding Ascalon to Saladin.
		Alix of Champagne, Queen of Cyprus and daughter of King Henry I, claimed the regency on the ground of being Isabella of Brienne's nearest relative; and it was conferred upon her and her second husband Ralph, Count of Soissons, the imperial garrison, besieged in Tyre, being forced to capitulate.

	CYPRUS UNDER RICHARD I AND THE TEMPLARS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The marriage of Sybilla, heiress to the kingdom of Jerusalem, to the French adventurer Guy de Lusignan caused dissension among the crusaders.
		For Guy was hated by powerful rivals for the crown and, when he came to the throne in 1186, he was unable to exercise any real control over his kingdom.
		Guy de Lusignan thus lost the crown of Jerusalem, but as he had originally come from Richard's duchy of Aquitaine and had long been a vassal of the English king, Richard offered him the sovereignty of Cyprus in compensation for the loss of his kingdom.

	THE LUSIGNAN DYNASTY: Foundations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Guy de Lusignan died in 1194 after only two years in Cyprus, and the possession of the island passed to his brother Amaury, who had been constable of Cyprus and Jerusalem and was therefore in command of the Lusignan forces.
		During the Lusignan dynasty, the island was held by force under feudal law and it was necessary for the government to have a stronghold against any possible rising of the native population.
		The family of d'Ibelin, which had an influence on the history of Cyprus second only to the Lusignans, were the descendants of Balian d'Ibelin, viscount of Chartres, who fought for Guy at the disastrous battle of Hittin in 1187 and who subsequently married the widow of Amaury.
