Hugh the Brown of Lusignan

Hugh, called le Brun (the Brown), was a Poitevin baron of the Lusignan family, eldest son of Hugh VIII of Lusignan and elder brother of Aimery and Guy, later kings of Jerusalem and Cyprus. He helped administer the family estates and appears as lord of Lusignan while his father was on crusade after 1163.

In the Aquitanian revolt of 1168 Henry II Plantagenet took and dismantled Lusignan castle, which the brothers rebuilt. Hugh died before his father in April 1169, leaving by Aurengarde of Exoudun three underage children, including Hugh IX.
