Yolanda of Lusignan or Yolande I de Lusignan, Countess of La Marche (24 March 1257[1] – 30 September 1314) was a French noblewoman and peeress. In 1308, she succeeded her brother Guy I as suo jure Dame of Lusignan, of Couhé and of Peyrat, and suo jure Countess of La Marche, but not as Countess of Angoulême since after her brother's death the county was sold by her sisters, Joan and Isabelle, to King Philip IV and annexed to the French Crown.[2] Yolanda was also the heiress of Fougères, which she succeeded to upon her mother's death sometime after 1273.[citation needed]
