I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who assumed control of the island after the death of James II?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Following the death in 1473 of James II, the last Lusignan king, the Republic of Venice assumed control of the island, while the late king's Venetian widow, Queen Catherine Cornaro, reigned as figurehead.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
