The Chivalric Orders of Saint Catherine of Mount Sinai, The Order of Saint Blaise, La Croix de L’Ordre Asiatique and The Order of the Sword - of The House of Lusignan.
The House of Lusignan
The House of Lusignan is a royal house of French origin, which at various times ruled several principalities in Europe and the Levant, including the kingdoms of Jerusalem, Cyprus, and Armenia, from the 12th through the 15th centuries during the Middle Ages. It also had great influence in England and France.
The family originated in Lusignan, in Poitou, western France, in the early 10th century.
