==Trivia==
*Historically, Isaac Komnenos ruled Cyprus from 1184 to 1191 as the Byzantine governor of the island, but he claimed the title of Byzantine Emperor. Richard the Lionheart conquered the island and took Komnenos captive. This was due to the man holding the sister and fiancée of Richard captive after they were shipwrecked on the island. He was turned over to the Knights of St. John who kept him imprisoned near Tripoli until he was released in c. 1194. Isaac traveled to the sultanate of Rum and attempted to gain support against Byzantine Emperor Alexios III Angelos. However, he died of poison in 1195 or 1196. Isaac was described as a violent and cruel man. He seemed to have been in league with William II of Sicily and had close connections to [[Saladin]].
