In 1191, but he did not really invade it.

This also included Richard's fiancée and his sister who had been travelling on them, although this seemed to concern Richard less at the time.

On learning what had happened, Richard took the rest of his ships to Cyprus and after a friendly meeting with Cyprus' ruler got his money and the ladies back. After that, Isaac Komnenos found to his dismay that Richard showed no eagerness to continue his journey and fight the infidels in the Holy Land but chose to live comfortably off the ruler's hospitality, while his troops harrassed the local population.
