An Unknown Portrait of King of Cyprus Hugh IV Lusignan: Reconstructions, Questions and Hypotheses Regarding a Miniature from the Manuscript BSB. Clm. 10268. Michael Scotus. F. 1r.
The Lusignan epoch in Cyprus produced a number of interesting and extraordinary individuals, of which king Hugh IV Lusignan particularly stood out. However, due to a lack of portraits left to us from that time, we have only a very vague concept of what those individuals’ appearances looked like. This work makes a unique attempt at reconstructing a portrait of king Hugh IV Lusignan based on a miniature found in a manuscript containing works of Michael Scotus, located in the Bavarian State Library.
