- Abstract
The Lusignan dynasty ruled in Cyprus for about three hundred centuries from the XIII to the XV centuries. The Lusignan family's administrative structure was similar to that of the Crusader states. In order to facilitate the administration, the kings had appointed people they trust at the state level. In this article, the seneschals who served during the Lusignan period in Cyprus have been identified and examined in chronological order. Seneschals were important civil servants who occupied the first place in the hierarchy. In the early periods of the Lusignan Kingdom of Cyprus, the people who served as seneschals were chosen from the Lusignans or Ibelins, who were from prominent families. Towards the end of the kingdom, other people from families of Catalan and Spanish origin also became seneschals. Although it is difficult to determine the names of seneschals in the early periods of the kingdom, the appointments made by the kings in recent periods have been more clearly included in the sources. The duties of the seneschals were determined by examining the documents in the sources. In cases of marriage of the royal family, seneschals are appointed in delegations It was also seen that they took part as representatives of the king when the expedition was to be launched. Besides, they were with the king and supported him.
