Alice was a member of the House of Lusignan, the second eldest daughter of Hugh X de Lusignan, "le Brun", Seigneur de Lusignan, Count of La Marche and Isabella of Angoulême, queen dowager of England as the widow of King John.
She was a half-sister of King Henry III of England. Shortly after her arrival in England from France in 1247, her half-brother arranged her marriage to the John de Warrene. the Earl of Surrey, which incurred some resentment from the English nobility.
The marriage caused some resentment among the English nobility, as they considered the King's Lusignan siblings to be parasites and a liability to the Kingdom. Many prestigious honours and titles were granted to the Lusignans. Alice was also said to have been disdainful of all things English.
