The Banquet of the Five Kings was a meeting, in 1363, of the kings of England, Scotland, France, Denmark and Cyprus. It was arranged by Sir Henry Picard, a former Lord Mayor of London. The five kings were:

  • Peter I of Cyprus
  • Edward III of England
  • David II of Scotland
  • John II of France
  • Valdemar IV of Denmark
  • The occasion (the toast of the five kings) was hosted by “The Vintners' Company” at their Hall.

    The Cypriot beverage company KEO created a brandy, produced in Limassol, to commemorate the occasion.
