Lignages d'Outre-Mer
The Lignages d'Outre-Mer describe the pedigrees of the most important Crusader families. A first version was written around 1270 and has survived in two manuscripts from the 14th century, a continuation was made in 1307/08, another in Italian in 1398 ( Notes sopra i Re di Gerusalemme e di Cipro e loro parentela etc. ). It was written by Pierre de Flory (Piero de Fiorin), the Viscount of Nicosia , who may also have come from Antioch , and Simon of Jerusalem, probably in Cyprus .
