'''Henry I of Cyprus''', nicknamed '''the Fat''', aka '''Henry of Lusignan''', '''Henri de Lusignan''' ([[1217]]–[[1253]]) was [[Kingdom of Cyprus|King of Cyprus]] [[January 10]], [[1218]]–1253. He was the son of [[Hugh I of Cyprus]] and [[Alice of Cyprus|Alice of Champagne of Jerusalem]]. The 8-month-old Henry became King of Cyprus upon his father's death in [[1218]], with his mother acting as regent.

In historical literature, it has been said that the most interesting thing in Henry's reign was his corpulence. This apparently means a surprisingly peaceful, dull and safe period of time. Henry himself served as Regent of Jerusalem for Conrad of Hohenstaufen [[1246]]–[[1253]].

He was married three times; his third wife, whom he married in [[1250]], was [[Plaisance of Antioch]], daughter of Bohemund V of Antioch. They had a son, Hugh.

On his death, Henry was succeeded by his only child, his infant son [[Hugh II of Cyprus|Hugh II]] (b. 1253). If he had not had children, his heirs were his eldest sister's sons Jean de Brienne (b. [[1234]]) and [[Hugh of Brienne]](b. c. [[1240]]), as well as his younger sister's son Hugh of Antioch, the future [[Hugh III of Cyprus]] (b. c. [[1235]]).
