Anne de Lusignan

Claims

1. Supported

   Anne de Lusignan (1418–1462), Princess of Cyprus, daughter of King Janus, married Louis I, Duke of Savoy, on 1 November 1434. The marriage carried the titular royal styles of Jerusalem, Cyprus, and Armenia to the House of Savoy, which continued to use them as titular claims after the extinction of the ruling Cypriot Lusignan line and the 1489 cession of Cyprus to Venice.
