Peter II of Cyprus

Claims

1. Supported

   Peter II of Cyprus (1354–1382), King of Cyprus and titular King of Jerusalem 1369–1382, was the son of Peter I. His reign was dominated by the Genoese occupation of Famagusta following the War of Cyprus (1373–1374), which reduced Cyprus to a rump state. He died in 1382 without surviving legitimate heir, and the crown passed to his uncle James I.
