When Charlotte was fourteen, Helena married her daughter to Joao of Coimbra, grandson of Joao I of Portugal. But Joao proved to be too strong minded and opposed the Queen pro-orthodox policies, so a year later she had him poisoned by her foster-brother the Chamberlain Thomas. Charlotte called from help from her half-brother Jacques, who had the Queen’s foster-brother Thomas murdered. King Jean, who loved his 15 year old son very much, and had previously made him archbishop of Nicosia, responded to the Queen’s wrath by sending him to Rhodes, were he was well received for opposing the orthodox Queen."

He was forbidden from entering the palace, and was impeded from attending the coronation, that as archbishop of Nicosia he should have officiated. Jacques, as the favourite of his father, had expected to inherit the kingdom, indeed a possibility had Jean lived longer. But now he had few supporters if any. He had a bad press in the west and the Pope, the Hospitallers and Savoy were strong supporters of his half-sister. The Genoese were, as always, his enemies. So he went to Cairo, where he gained the support of Cyprus suzerain, the Mammeluk bey, that as a muslim and strange to the concept of bastardy, could not understand that the crown of his viceroyalty could be given to a woman."

Charlotte’s travels to materialize the help from the Hospitallers, Pope Pius II, and from her father-in-law the Duke of Savoy came to nothing. Louis of Savoy was willing to give some money, and Pius II a couple of galleys, the Hospitalliers were caught in the succesion of their High Master and did nothing. Jacques, who was well received by the locals, crowned himself in 1460, but was not recognized by Pius II, who saw him as an instrument of Islam. Only the Venetians, with a keen eye on business, changed their support from Charlotte to Jacques. In 1485 Charlotte ceded the three crowns of Cyprus, Armenia and Jerusalem to the Duke of Savoy. Venice contested this cession on legalistic grounds that the Bey of Egypt as the suzerain of Cyprus, had bestowed the crown on Jacques. "
