Years: 1108 - 1251
Isaac Komnenos, an imperial governor in the twelfth century, sets himself up in the capital as the emperor of Cyprus, and the authorities in Constantinople are either too weak or too busy to do anything about the usurper.
When an imperial fleet is eventually sent against Cyprus, Komnenos is prepared and, in league with Sicilian pirates, defeats the fleet and retains control of the island.
Komnenos, a tyrant and murderer, is unlamented when swept from power by the king of England, Richard I the Lion-Heart.
