Hugh of Lusignan

Hugh of Lusignan (c. 1335–1385?) was the only son of Guy of Lusignan and Marie of Bourbon. When Guy died in 1343, Hugh became his grandfather Hugh IV's designated heir to the throne of Cyprus. His mother, estranged from the king, wanted to take him west, and after papal pressure they left in 1347.

In 1358 the old king crowned his younger son Peter instead. Hugh appealed to the pope and served as senator of Rome in 1361. In 1362 Peter I bought his renunciation with a pension of 50,000 bezants, making him the richest lord after the king.

Hugh fought at Alexandria in 1365, where Peter named him prince of Galilee; after campaigning in Achaea, he and his mother ceded their claim to Philip of Taranto in 1370. He died childless in Cyprus.
