Unknown coat-of-arms dating to the 16th century

Hello, no I was indeed wrong about ascribing the crosses-section to the Templars as Norman already put straight. It is from Jerusalem (which led me to this mistake as the Templars have resided there) and have added pic of (full) coat of arms of Jerusalem.
The Lions are facing the wrong direction to be English, though the way they are depicted is quite in an 'English style' (streched/compressed), isnt it?!

Quite an interesting sword I must say! Am curious about the outcome.
Regards, Wouter
