Hugh XII of Lusignan

Hugh XII of Lusignan (c. 1238–1270) succeeded his father Hugh XI, killed at Fariskur in 1250, as Count of La Marche and Angoulême, ruling under the regency of his mother Yolande of Brittany. In 1254 he married Jeanne, heiress of Fougères, who bore him six children including Hugh XIII and Guy I.

He is the likeliest author behind the trouvère known as the Conte de la Marche. In 1270 he joined Louis IX's crusade and died in its early fighting at Tunis, whereupon Hugh XIII succeeded him.
