- Louis of Savoy, Count of Geneva
Louis (Ludovico) of Savoy, Count of Geneva (Geneva, June 5, 1436 or April 1, 1437 – Château-Monastery de Ripaille, August, 1482) was the second son and namesake of Louis, Duke of Savoy and his wife Anne of Lusignan, daughter of Janus of Cyprus. On 14 December 1447, at Stirling Castle, he firstly married Annabella of Scotland (c. 1433-after 1471), the daughter of James I of Scotland. There were no children from the marriage, and the couple separated, divorced and the marriage was annulled in 1458; she later married and divorced George Gordon, 2nd Earl of Huntly. The following year, on October 4, 1459, Louis married his cousin, Queen Charlotte of Cyprus (Nicosia, 1442/1443-Rome, July 16, 1487) and became King Consort of Cyprus and also a Titular King Consort of Jerusalem for the brief period of her reign from 1459 to 1462, which ended in the crowning of King James II in 1463.
