Peter I of Cyprus

Peter I captured the city of Adalia (Antalya) on the Anatolian coast from the Hamidid Turks. This victory gave Cyprus a foothold in Asia Minor and boosted Peter's reputation as a crusader king.

Peter I traveled across Europe to promote a new crusade, visiting Avignon, Paris, and London. He secured promises of support from Pope Urban V and various monarchs, though the actual military response was limited.

Peter I led a Crusader fleet to Egypt and sacked the city of Alexandria. The attack was a brutal raid that resulted in massive destruction and loss of life, but failed to hold the city or achieve lasting strategic gains.

Peter I was assassinated in his bed in Nicosia by a group of Cypriot nobles. The murder was motivated by his heavy taxation, autocratic rule, and the financial strain of his crusading campaigns.
