Jeanne of Lusignan (1260- 13 April 1323), married firstly Bernard Ezi III, Lord of Albret, by whom she had two daughters; she married secondly Sir Piers de Geneville of Trim and Ludlow, by whom she had another three daughters, including the eldest Joan de Geneville, who in her turn married Roger de Mortimer, 1st Earl of March.
The king made her marry Pain fitzJohn, and the land was probably a reward for fitzJohn's loyal service.
