This article deals with the reception of the image of the Emperors John II and Manuel I of the Komnenos dynasty based on the chronicler’s account by William of Tyre (1130–1186). It shows a positive evolution in the portrayal of John II and his successor Manuel I, whom William met twice – in 1168 and when he stayed in Constantinople for seven months in 1179/1180. The image of Manuel I is positive, emphasizing the emperor’s positive qualities, such as generosity, wisdom, and justice.

Treścią niniejszego artykułu jest stosunkowo nieznany polsko-cypryjski epizod w okresie średniowiecza. W 1426 r. Cypr został opanowany przez egipsko-syryjski sułtanat mameluków, a sam władca wyspy Janus de Lusignan dostał się do niewoli muzułmańskiej. Po odzyskaniu wolności król Cypru podjął próbę pozyskania pomocy w świecie chrześcijańskim w celu zrzucenia muzułmańskiego zwierzchnictwa. Jedną z takich prób była ekspedycja cypryjskiego poselstwa do Polski w 1432 r. Złożona wówczas przez Cypryjczyków propozycja dotyczyła mariażu następcy tronu wyspy z córką króla Jagiełły – Jadwigą – oraz zawierała również prośbę o udzielenie pożyczki w zamian za niemal praktyczne przejęcie kontroli nad Cyprem przez stronę polską.

One of the most unusual Cypriot royal missions in the middle ages was a delegation that arrived at the court of Ladislaus Jagiello. It is still a comparatively unknown episode in Polish-Cypriot contacts. In March 1432 a group of envoys from King of Cyprus Janus of Lusignan reached Wiślica, a town situated half way between the capital of Poland – Cracow – and Sandomierz, where they were given a warm welcome by King Ladislaus Jagiello of Poland. The Cypriots passed, on behalf of their king, a request to King Ladislaus Jagiello to grant a loan of 200,000 florins. To cement the agreement King Janus asked for his only son John to marry the daughter of Jagiello – Hedwig. The king of Poland Ladislaus Jagiello answered that he would be eager to help King Janus, and not only with his army, but also with financial support, were it not that his country was in such close proximity to the Tatars, who he claimed were the most barbaric of all the nations that the world had seen and he had to fight with them constantly. He also said that he could not give the hand of his daughter to the son of Janus of Lusignan because his daughter died some months ago. He added, however, that had she been alive, she would definitely have agreed to marry such a magnificent heir to the throne.
