Peter I of Cyprus (1328–1369), King of Cyprus and titular King of Jerusalem 1359–1369, was the son of Hugh IV. He led the sack of Alexandria in October 1365 — the last significant Crusader offensive against Egypt — and toured the courts of western Europe seeking support. He was murdered by his own vassals on 17 January 1369, in a conspiracy that included his brothers John of Antioch and James (later James I).
