Лузиньяны
In ancient years, Pervolia was a resting place for kings and wealthy people in the area. It was named after Greek word ‘pervoli’ for its abundant gardens, fertile soil, and thousands of productive trees. It used to belong to the royal family of the House of Lusignan during the Frankish Period of Cyprus, which lasted from 1191 until 1489. The last owner of this period was Charles Lusignan, who was persecuted by King James II of Cyprus because he supported Queen Charlotte. King James II of Cyprus took off Pervolia from Charles by issuing a decree. Pervolia was sold to the Podokatares family from Greece during the Venetian Period of Cyprus, and the last owner was Ektoras Podokatoras from 1489 to 1571.
