OK, correct;

DT: Richard the Lionheart married and had his Coronation in Limassol.

Oracle: yes, Jewish settlers between 1946 and 1949; numbers vary but it is suggested the British - the Swines! - imprisoned around 50,000 Jewish immigrants, in Cyprus - with 2,200 babies being born in the Camps.

Figures vary between 50,000 - 60,000. Some who managed to escape the camps were given up to the British by local Cypriots, my grandmother and mother were two.
They both returned to the camp, my grandmother was shipped back to Germany my mother remained in Cyprus, were she was befriended by my fathers grandfather.
