The Genealogy of the Family of Lusignan

Introduction

This article is a genealogical account of the French Noble family of Lusignan, which managed to establish its many branches all over the Mediterranean. They accomplished that as rulers and hangers-on to the first-tier nobility of what are known today as the Crusader States(the Kingdoms of Cyprus and Jerusalem, the Principality of Antioch, the County of Tripolis (Libya) and the Empire of Constantinople). For a short period of time they also became the rulers of the Medieval Kingdom of Armenia of Cilicia (now part of Modern Turkey). Descendents of this family can be found today in nearly all the Mediterranean countries and also in United Kingdom and the United States.

The origins of this family go back to the Medieval France, to the small town of Poitou. There the early Lusignans established their selves as Lords of the whole region for a long period of time. It were sons of the 8^th Lord of Lusignan, Hugh VIII, the ones that participated in the first crusade and created the links stated above. This article is an account ofthe known descendants of Hugh VIII.

For the better use of the reader I divided the article in eight parts, in which are stated what in my opinion are the main branches of the family. At the endof it I have created a list of the Lusignan Kings and Queens of Cyprus with explanatory notes on their titles and connection.

And finally a note on the format: Instead of the formal and most commonly used format of genealogical presentation, which states first the elder offspring, then its descendants, the second older offspring and so on, I have used a format were the all the siblings appear together, in order for anyone to be able to recognize very easily the connection between two persons of the same generation (i.e. if they aresiblings or cousins). I apologize to the readers for any inconveniencethatmay bring.
