Phoebus of Lusignan

Phoebus of Lusignan

Phoebus of Lusignan (d. Rome, after July, 1485) (also called Febo or Febos in Portuguese) was a titular Marshal of Armenia and also titular Lord of Sidon, the illegitimate son of Pierre de Lusignan by an unknown mother.

His father Pierre was the grandson of Jean de Lusignan and second wife Alix d'Ibelin. Phoebus was legitimized by Pope Martin V in 1428, along with his cousin Guy de Lusignan, illegitimate son of King Janus of Cyprus.

Married to an unknown woman, he was the father of one son and one daughter.

His son Hugues of Lusignan (d. after 1468), Lord of Menico and Acaqui, was married firstly to ... Babin and secondly to Isabeau Placoton, with whom he had two daughters:
* Isabelle de Lusignan, married to Very Embriaco de Giblet, Lord of Makrassika.
* Lucrèce de Lusignan, married to Olivier de Flatre.

His daughter Elèonore, also Leonor (in Portuguese), of Lusignan (d. Lisbon, ca 1475, and buried there) also married twice. In the 1450s (1450/1455 according to some or 1451/1452 according to others) to Soffredo Crispo (d. 1458), Lord of Nisyros, of the Dukes of Naxos was without issue. Her second marriage was before 1459 as second wife to Vasco Gil Moniz, with whom she had one son, Febo (or Febos) Moniz de Lusignan or Febo (or Febos) Moniz. Eleonore was said to have come from Aragon as a Dame of Isabella of Aragon, Countess of Urgell, wife of Infante Pedro, Duke of Coimbra. She most likely met her husband when he went to Cyprus in the company of John of Portugal, who was marrying Queen Charlotte of Cyprus.

Since he died at the same place and about the same time of his cousin Queen Charlotte it can be assumed that when she was deposed by her brother he chose not to endorse him and instead accompanied her to her exile and died there. His daughter went to Portugal back with her husband either when his master Charlotte's first husband was murdered or, after deciding to stay after that event, when his master's widow was deposed and at the same time Phoebus left Cyprus, returning to his country instead of going to Rome with him.
