Fan Casting Isaac Komnenos of Cyprus in Robin Hood and the House of Plantagenet (TV-Series)

The self-proclaimed Emperor of Cyprus whose hubris turned a strategic island into a blood-soaked prize. A paranoid ruler, Isaac sparked a fatal conflict with the Plantagenets by attempting to seize Richard’s shipwrecked sister Joan and bride Berengaria as hostages, inviting the full, concentrated fury of the "Lionheart." His defense was as brutal as it was ineffective, ending in a humiliating surrender where he was bound in mocking silver chains and forced to watch his daughter, Beatrice, be taken as a high-status trophy. Isaac remains a broken monarch in Richard's wake, a cautionary tale of the price paid when a minor ruler dares to exploit the vulnerabilities of the Lionheart's house.
