Abstract
This article traces the strategies followed by two family groups towards wealth accumulation in fifteenth-century Cyprus, by examining their marriage alliances, wider kinship relations and shifting religious alignments. The fifteenth century was a testing time for the inhabitants of the island, as they experienced successive bouts of plague epidemics and foreign invasion (Mamluks 1424-26), as well as suffering the effects of civil war. While the fortunes of some Cypriot families declined, others successfully navigated the shifting power balances. Zooming out, they paper will re-assess the island's place within the business and trading networks, which stretched across the Mediterranean.
