Is there any agreement on the spelling of names? Why Amalric, not Amaury, and why Henry, which is English?
-- Yak 19:22, Mar 10, 2004 (UTC)
Why not? It's the English Wikipedia. Okay, Amalric isn't English, but we've used Amalric I of Jerusalem rather than Amaury or any of the other variations, so we used Amalric II for this one as well...but the others are Anglicized just for convenience, they're not really well-known under any name, so why not use English here? (We don't even use French forms for the French monarchs, Henry IV of France for example.) Adam Bishop 19:27, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I inserted linebreak to the list of Kings of Cyprus which to my minds eye improved style and readability. Am open to further discussion. Dakota ~ ε °
Did the House of Savoy consistently claim and use this title from Queen Charlotte's death until they actually got a real kingdom in 1713? Did anyone ever recognize them as Kings? Does anybody know? john k 21:01, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
On Peter I of Cyprus it says he ruled from 1358, but on here we have that he ruled from 1359. Does anyone know which is correct. Davewild 19:31, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Why is the "native name" in Greek? The administrative language would have been Latin, or French, or Italian, wouldn't it? (Although I'm sure it had a Greek name, of course, and I can't seem to find a Latin name...) Adam Bishop ( talk) 19:36, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
For religion is there a reason behind calling the Catholic and Orthodox Churches Latin Christianity and Greek Christianity? If not I believe it should be changed to the more commonly used terms of Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy ---- Rcollins03 ( talk) 23:51, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
Who elevated Cyprus to a Kingdom ?

Did Richard attempt to formalize his rule of Cyprus in some way? Did he take a new title ("Lord of Cyprus," like Guy used), or annex it to one of his other territories (England?), or...? -- Jfruh ( talk) 18:23, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
very interesting question. I would like to know too.
about pretenders it says: "Charlotte to the Italian house of Savoy and Catarina Cornaro to the Republic of Venice which asserted its claim to the kingdom as a republic, without even a candidate for king."
I suppose the doges of Venice were supposed to be kings of Cyprus then. along their other titles as e.g. duke of the croats added when part of the Croatian coast was conquered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.33.149.190 ( talk) 14:13, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
Am I the only one who sees the colors in the lower left quadrant of the flag and coat of arms are inverted? Either the flag (gold on red) is faulty, or the coat of arms (red on gold) is. They can't both by correct. 81.206.240.225 ( talk) 20:37, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
As with the Kingdom of Jerusalem article, I've removed the "native" Greek name. The main languages of the kingdom were French (where there are plenty of different spellings - Royaume/Reyaume/Reyaume/Reame etc, de Chypre/Chipre) and Latin (Regnum Cypri or Regnum Cyprense). Of course there were Greek speakers there but they did not call it a "basileion". Both Cyprus and Jerusalem were called a "Rhegaton" in medieval Greek (there was only one basileion, the Roman empire in Constantinople). Adam Bishop ( talk) 22:18, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

This article might have lost an opening para at some stage. The first para launches into discussing Richard (the Lionheart?) and Isaac (no idea) without identifying them. Would be good if someone who knows their stuff could do that. SpoolWhippets ( talk) 03:56, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
