- ... that King Henry I of Cyprus is better known for having been fat than for having achieved anything in 20 years of his rule?
- Source: " the king played during this period (as indeed throughout his long reign) a minor part, for which his extreme youth at his accession does not wholly account. Possibly the corpulence, which won for him the nickname of 'the Fat', may have been connected with mental lethargy." (Hill 2010, p. 83)
- "For the next twenty years Henry ruled Cyprus without ever, it would seem, holding the limelight in the politics of the Latin East of his day." (Edbury 1994, p. 35)
- "King Henry, whose chief distinction was his enormous corpulence, was not the man to assert his powers." (Runciman 1989, p. 230)

- Thanks, ThaesOfereode! Frederick accepted the age of 15 when it suited him, as in the case of his own son, who was king of Jerusalem. The cited author mentions this. Perhaps our article should too. Hmm. Surtsicna (talk) 20:46, 28 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Noting that I did verify the hook myself, so I'll promote it notwithstanding the AGF. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 03:39, 21 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
