I know little about Bartolomeo d’Armenia, the 8th Senior Lusignan male heir, mainly because of the lack of records.

He is my 9 x great-grandfather.

He was born in Malta sometime after 1611, son of Gio Leonardo d’Armenia and Antonia Spiteri1.

Titles

He was the 8th Senior heir of the Lusignan family, through his paternal grandfather’s family1.

This gives him the title of ‘Prince'1. Based on my research his grandfather Eugene never claimed the title and actively escaped from the royal family of Cyprus. It’s hard to say if Bartolomeo merited the title, or if it was an affectation.
