James I of Cyprus (c. 1334–1398), King of Cyprus and titular King of Jerusalem 1382–1398, was the son of Hugh IV and the brother of Peter I. Held prisoner by the Genoese in Genoa when Peter II died, he was crowned in absentia in 1382 and ransomed in 1385. He fathered Janus of Cyprus (admitted in Sprint 10 Batch 3), through whom the Cyprus royal line continued to Anne de Lusignan and the Savoy titular succession.
