===Knights Hospitaller=== {{Unreferenced section|date=February 2017}} Upon arriving at Rhodes, Cem asked the protection of the French captain of [[Bodrum Castle]], [[Pierre d'Aubusson]], grand master of the [[Knights of St. John]], the Latin Catholic order on the island. On 29 July Cem arrived at Rhodes and was received with honor. In return for the overthrow of the new sultan Bayezid, Prince Cem offered perpetual peace between the Ottoman Empire and Christendom if he regained the Ottoman throne. However, [[Pierre d'Aubusson]] realized that conflict with Bayezid would be imprudent, so he secretly approached Bayezid, concluded a peace treaty, and then reached a separate agreement on Cem's captivity in March 1483. D'Aubusson promised Bayezid to detain Cem in return for an annual payment of 40,000 ducats for his maintenance. Therefore, the Knights took the money and betrayed Cem, who thereafter became a well-treated prisoner at Rhodes. Afterwards, Cem was sent to the castle of Pierre d'Aubusson in [[France]].
