You should add the Moniz de Lusignan family in Portugal. They are descended from Vasco Gil Moniz who married c. 1435 Leonor de Lusignan, d. of Phébus, bastard of Lusignan. Current representative of this line is the marquess of Sampayo. They quarter of Moniz and Lusignan, sometimes with an inescutcheon of Lusignan ancien (argent a Lion gules).
