1369 CE

Peter returns to Cyprus, but is rapidly plunged into domestic troubles.

Queen Eleanor had been unfaithful during his long absences in Europe, and he retaliates by tyrannizing her favorite nobles, alienating even his brothers.

Three of his own knights assassinate him on January 17, 1369, in his own bed at the Palace of La Cava, Nicosia.

His son succeeds him as king, and a treaty of peace is signed with Egypt.
