Withdrawn from them on more than one occasion by Richard Coeur-de-Lion, it passed to King John of England on his marriage with Isabel, daughter of Count Adhémar, and by her subsequent marriage in 1220 to Hugh X. passed to the Lusignan family, counts of Marche. On the death of Hugh XIII. in 1302 without issue, his possessions passed to the crown.

That ancestor of King Janus was by name Guy de Lusignan, and the sins of the fathers, so Master Windecke set forth with flowers of eloquence, were ever visited on the children, unto the third and fourth generation.

I believe Dr. Philip Staines is here." "Why, that IS the doctor, ma'am. Yes, he is here." "Then, pray let me see him or no; I had better see Mr. Lusignan." "Master have gone out for the day, ma'am; but if you'll step in the drawing-room, I'll tell the doctor." Lady Cicely waited in the drawing-room some time, heart-sick and trembling. At last Dr.

Though the ancient song-writers of France were noble; Henry IV., author of Charmante Gabrielle; Thibault, Count of Champagne; Lusignan, Count de la Marche; Raval, Blondel, and Basselin de la Vive, whose songs were as joyous as the juice of his grapes; yet some of the best French poets of modem times have been of humble origin Marmontel, Moliere, Rousseau, and Beranger.

If she knows nothing of it by the tenth of March, five guineas to every man and woman in this kitchen. You shall see that, if you can be kind, we can be grateful." He then hurried away. He found Mr. Lusignan in the drawing-room, and told him all this. Lusignan was fluttered, but grateful. "Ah, my good friend," said he, "this is a hard trial to two old men, like you and me." "It is," said Philip.

Lusignan. "He only compared the situation, not the people." "But, papa, the Bible is not to be dragged into the common affairs of life." "Then what on earth is the use of it?" "Oh, papa! Well, it is not Sunday, but I have had a sermon. This is the clergyman, and you are the commentator he! he! And so now let us go back from divinity to medicine.

The count has again laid at least as much as five hundred louis on Lusignan, and if he's wanted Nana to run to a hundred louis it's because an owner ought always to look as if he believes in his horses." "Oh, bosh! What the deuce does that matter to us?" shouted La Faloise with a wave of his arms. "Spirit's going to win! Down with France bravo, England!"

She prevailed so far as to obtain the life of Lusignan; but he was shut up at Bristol Castle, where John likewise imprisoned the elder sister of Arthur, Eleanor, a girl of eighteen, of such peerless beauty that she was called the Pearl of Brittany. "Give up your false pretentions," said John, "to crowns you will never wear. Am I not your uncle?

One young maiden, child of a wealthy Jew of London, on being converted, became a godchild of Edward's eldest daughter, Eleanor, whose name she received; and she was shortly after married to the Count de la Marcho, the King's cousin, and one of the noble line of Lusignan a plain proof that in the royal family there was not the loathing for the Israelite race that existed in Spain.

Others of their kindred flocked to the land of promise. Any Poitevin was welcome, even if not a member of the house of Lusignan. Thus the noble adventurer John du Plessis, came over to England, married the heiress of the Neufbourg Earls of Warwick, and in 1247 was created Earl of Warwick.
