So some context, my previous ruler was able to elevate Cyprus to a Catepanate however, tragedy struck when measles came through and killed half of his children, and his heir, causing him to almost die of stress. But having lived a stressful life he had plenty of coping mechanics, leaving the spare. He was entirely ignored growing up and yet he came out better than his late brother, and even survived the measles epidemic.

I also think Cyprus is a terrible place to be as I have never seen a place more prone to diseases with the life expectancy definitely being lower than I would have anticipated.
