Phoebus of Lusignan (died after July 1485 in Rome) (also called Febo or Febos in Portuguese) was a titular Marshal of Armenia and also titular lord of Sidon, the illegitimate son of Peter of Lusignan, titular Count of Tripoli.
Biography
His father Peter of Lusignan was the grandson of John of Lusignan and second wife Alice of Ibelin. Phoebus was legitimized by Pope Martin V in 1428, along with his cousin Guy, illegitimate son of King Janus of Cyprus.
Married to an unknown woman, he was the father of one son and one daughter.
His son Hugh 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:
- Isabella, married to Very Embriaco de Giblet, Lord of Makrassika.
- Lucrecia, married to Olivier de Flatre.
- Eleanor, who married Soffredo Crispo (d. 1458), lord of Nisyros, and then Vasco Gil Moniz
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.
