Louis of Cyprus


Louis of Savoy (Italian: Ludovico; 5 June 1436 or 1 April 1437 – August 1482) was King of Cyprus, reigning together with and in the right of his wife, Charlotte. He was the second son and namesake of Louis, Duke of Savoy, and his wife Anne, daughter of King Janus of Cyprus. He was born in Geneva.

On 14 December 1444, at Stirling Castle, he was betrothed to Annabelle, youngest daughter of King James I of Scotland (d. 1437) and sister of King James II. The marriage never took place and the betrothal was annulled in 1456.

On 7 October 1459, Louis married Queen Charlotte of Cyprus, his cousin, and became King of Cyprus and also titular King of Jerusalem and of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia for the brief period of her reign from 1459 to 1464, when they were deposed.

Louis died at the Château-Monastery de Ripaille in France.
