Buonfigliuoli

According to the Priorista Mariani, this family died out a little after 1400. The Ceramelli Papiani archive notes that their Santa Croce tomb may have had the lilies worn away, but it could be a different version of their arms prior to receiving the honor to carry the fleur-de-lis, often given to Florentine ambassadors to the French king.
