Alice de Lusignan, Countess of Surrey

Shortly after her arrival in England from France in 1247, her half-brother arranged her marriage to the Earl, which incurred some resentment from the English nobility.

In 1247, a year after her mother's death, Alice accompanied the new papal legate William of Modena, the Cardinal-bishop of Sabina, to England, which she had decided to make her home, and live at the expense of the Crown.

[4] The marriage caused some resentment amongst the English nobility, as they considered the king's Lusignan siblings to be parasites and a liability to the kingdom.

[6] John was the son of William de Warenne, 5th Earl of Surrey and Maud Marshal.

Alice died in Warren, Sussex, England, on 9 February 1256 after giving birth to her only son, William.
