The Book of Melusine of Lusignan

The book explores the faery tradition surrounding Melusine of Lusignan, drawing from both prose and verse romances from the 14th century. It compiles various sources to present a comprehensive portrayal of Melusine, her town, church, and the influential Lusignan dynasty she established. Gareth Knight, an authority on the subject, translates key French texts and shares his research on the 12th-century Lusignan family, including their connections to kings of Cyprus and Jerusalem, while investigating the concept of a guiding familiar spirit in their lineage.
