Peter I of Cyprus or Pierre I de Lusignan (9 October 1328 in Nicosia – 17 January 1369 in Palace of La Cava, Nicosia) was King of Cyprus and titular King of Jerusalem from his father's abdication on 24 November 1358 until his own death in 1369. He was also Latin King of Armenia from either 1361 or 1368. He was the second son of Hugh IV of Cyprus, the first by his second wife Alice of Ibelin. He was also invested as titular Count of Tripoli when young, in 1346. He was the greatest King of Cyprus on a military basis, where he had great success. He was unable to complete many plans, due to internal dispute that culminated in his assassination at the hands of three of his own knights. ==Marriage== Soon after 28 June 1342 he married Eschive de Montfort (d. before 1350), only daughter and heiress of Honfroy de Montfort (1305 – 24 June 1326), Constable of Cyprus and Titular Lord of Toron, and his wife, whose name is unknown. Eschiva died before 1350 while Peter was still a teenager and the marriage was childless. In 1353 he remarried Eleanor of Aragon-Gandia (1333 – 26 December 1416 in Barcelona and buried there), daughter of Pedro, Infante of Aragon, Conde de Ribagorza, Ampurias y Prades, Seneschal of Catalonia, and Jeanne de Foix (died before November 1358), herself the daughter of Gaston I, Count of Foix and Jeanne of Artois. Eleanor was the sister of Infante Don Alfonso, Duke of Gandia, pretender to the Aragonese crown and was crowned Queen Consort of Cyprus on 24 November 1358 and Titular Queen of Jerusalem 5 April 1360, Co-Regent of Cyprus in January, 1369. His passion for his second wife was much remarked upon by chroniclers; the chronicle of Machairas tells us how Peter always slept with Eleanora's night-dress in his arms: ''()o for the love which (Peter ) had promised that, wherever he was, he would take (Eleanora's ) shift to lay it at night in his arms when he slept, and he made his chamberlain always bring with him the queen's shift, and had him put it in his bed.'' 〔Christoforaki, Ioanna. ''Sainted Ladies and Wicked Harlots: Perceptions of Gender in Medieval Cyprus''〕 He had three children from his second marriage to Eleanora: *Peter II of Lusignan (c. 1357–1382), succeeded him as King of Cyprus and Jerusalem *Margaret or Mary of Lusignan (ca. 1360 – ca. 1397), once engaged to Carlo Visconti and married in 1385 to her cousin Jacques de Lusignan (d. 1395/1397), Titular Count of Tripoli, grandson of John of Lusignan and wife Alix d'Ibelin, and had issue *Eschiva of Lusignan (d. before 1369), died young As Peter II of Cyprus remained heirless, the crown of Cyprus was passed to his uncle James I of Cyprus, son of Hugh IV of Cyprus and Alix of Ibelin. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter I of Cyprus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
