Surely, of all the forms in which love torments the heart, this was the most terrible and pitiable. Mr. Lusignan found his daughter in tears. "Why, what is the matter now?" said he, a little peevishly.
Melusine fainted at the words, lamented bitterly, and vanished, never appearing again except as a phantom, which flits round the Castle of Lusignan whenever any of her descendants are about to die.
The Templars, the Genoese, and the Germans declared for Philip and Conrade; the Flemings, the Pisans, the Knights of the Hospital of St. John, adhered to Richard and Lusignan. Vinisauf, p. 342.
"For the matter of birth verily, as thou hast said, 'it is a trifle," the King admitted with a laugh: "but I must create thee Master to the Pedigree of the House of Lusignan a right royal post and at thy discretion thou mayest find or make it of a color noble enough to mate with thy fair maid of Venice."

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.
For they of Nikosia were desperately loyal and somewhat sore, withal, that King Janus had seen fit to remove the capital from their splendid city of Nikosia, which from the beginning of the Lusignan dynasty, had held this supremacy.
It was found unaccountably easier to act with this son of labour than with any other of the gentlemen-performers, though they were all natural geniuses.
