Isabella of Cyprus

Isabella of Cyprus (Old French: Isabel; died in 1264) was a princess of the House of Lusignan. She was the heir presumptive to the Kingdom of Cyprus during the reign of her minor nephew King Hugh II, but ceded the right to rule the kingdom as regent to her son, Hugh of Antioch. In 1263 she claimed the regency of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, but was granted limited powers by its High Court. She then returned to Cyprus, where she died soon after.
