	Cyprus History: Lusignan Period - The Reign of Janus
		This drew upon Cyprus the vengeance of the Mamelukes, who were still seeking to retaliate for the sack of Alexandria by Pierre I. In the midst of war, Cyprus was for the third time attacked by plague, and the consequent weakness of the island gave the sultan the opportunity for which he had waited.
		On the night of the battle, Hugues de Lusignan, brother of the king and Latin archbishop of Nicosia, left the capital with the royal family and took refuge in the castle of Kyrenia.
		After a captivity of ten months King Janus was released on payment of an enormous ransom, the promise of an annual tribute to Egypt, and recognition of the suzerainty of the Sultan.

	Greece
		Cyprus and Pontos on the contrary present a remarkable similarity with only two critical differences: first there was a difference in timing dictated by the remarkable economic development in Pontos in the early nineteenth century which fostered the cultural and political awakening at an earlier date.
		Especially in connection with Cyprus where this ideology survived, was reinforced by reactions to British colonial policy and had a determining impact on twentieth century politics, the understanding of its inner structure and implications is an essential precondition of any appraisal of contemporary politics as well.
		Thus Cyprus presented the specificity of the only territory of the Greek East with an ethnic Hellenic and Greek speaking majority in its population in which Greek nationalism was received and developed free from the hostile pressure of an alien majority in the society.

	The Venetian Period in Cyprus - Growth of Ottoman Power
		Cyprus had, since the reign of King Janus, paid tribute to the sultan of Egypt, and now the Ottomans, by conquering Egypt, took over the suzerainty of Cyprus.
		From this time the Ottomans looked upon Cyprus as forming part of their empire, and this claim was tacitly admitted by the Venetians, who sent to Constantinople the annual tribute which had hitherto been paid to Cairo.
		Every extension of the Ottoman Empire made it more clear to Venice that she would have eventually to defend Cyprus by force of arms, and that the attack when it came, as they had seen in the case of Rhodes, would be a very serious affair.
