A historical examination would suggest that each of the two primary branches were indeed direct descendants of the medieval Lusignan dynasty.

Prince Louis Christian de Lusignan passed away in 1884, leading Prince Guy de Lusignan to claim leadership of the Royal House of Lusignan. Consequently, he assumed the titles of Crown Prince of Cyprus, Armenia, and Jerusalem.

Gardiner, who was the President of Liberia, Joaquin Crespo and Juan Pablo Rojas Paul, who served as successive Presidents of Venezuela, Bernardo Soto Alfaro, the President of Costa Rica, Lysius Salamon, the President of Haiti, and several Roman Catholic dignitaries: Ferdinand Cardinal Donnet, Guglielmo Cardinal Sanfelice d’Acquavilla, Patriarch Vinceno Bracco, and Lucido Cardinal Parocchi.

During the unification process, King Belo IV acknowledged the privileges of Nobiles Scepus, thereby acquiring economic and military strength to safeguard the northern frontier.

Nobiles Scepus was granted the highest possible status as an independent organisational unit, directly accountable to the king. The coat of arms of Spiš County features the emblem of Nobiles Scepus at its center, depicting a bear clutching three ears of corn. This arrangement persisted for 800 years. On May 31, 2026, a statue of a knight was unveiled in our village in commemoration of Nobiles Scepus, following Holy Mass.

The ceremony was attended by local residents, representatives from state administration, municipalities, and non-governmental organizations. The Spiš region is located in northern Slovakia, and within its territory are the Great Moravian Castles in the Čingov area. King Svätopluk divided his kingdom among his sons, and subsequently, King Saint Stephen I initiated the centralisation of the country.
