John I (c. 1268 - 20 May 1285) was
King of Cyprus and, in contention with Charles I of Anjou, of Jerusalem
from 1284 to 1285.
John was the eldest surviving son of
Margaret and brother Guy, respectively. Acre, political centre of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, recognized Charles.[4] John died on 20 May 1285, almost exactly a year after his coronation, leaving the crown to his younger brother Henry II.[3][5]
