Your list seems to be correct from the bottom up to Margaret wife of Peter of Luxembourg. However, Wikitree (Marguerite (Baux) de Luxembourg (1394-1469) | WikiTree FREE Family Tree) and Wikipedia (Margaret of Baux - Wikipedia) both have her mother as having the surname Orsini not de Lusignan.

i did some digging and i think the person who put the list together misspelled some names, Margeurite Savoie https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Savoie-1224 has a mother Anne Lusignan https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lusignan-144 whos father is Janus Lusignan https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lusignan-109 who appears on this list as James
C Thomas, Marguerite Savoie was married to a different Peter of Luxembourg (1440 - 1482). The Queen's ancestor in the list above was Peter of Luxembourg (1390 - 1433).
