Count of la Marche and Angouleme, seigneur of Lusignan, Chateau-Larcher, Montreuil-Bonnin, and la Morthe-Saint-Heray de Lusignan

In 1244 Hugues de Lusignan defected to King Louis VIII of France during the Capetian invasion of Poitou, with Louis promising Isabel 2000 lives Parisis annually in return for her dower lands forfeit in England, and the annual revenues of Langeais near Tours in exchange for rights that she claimed as dower at Saumur in Anjou. In 1230 they entered into alliance with King Louis IX of France, who granted Isabel an annual pension of 5000 livres Tours in return for resignation of her dower rights she claimed in England, Normandy and Anjou. IN 1242 she and her husband, Hugues, rebelled against the French. In return for a pardon from King Louis IX, thy were forced to relinquish the pensions paid to them since 1224 and to abandon their claim to Saintes. Isabel was subsequently implicated in a plot to poison King Louis IX and his brother, Alphonse, Count of Poitiers. Isabel, dowager Queen of England, Countess of La Marche and Angouleme, subsequently took refuge in Fontevrault Abbey, where she died. She was initially buried in the common graveyard of the Abbey, but at her son, King Henry III's request, her remains were moved in 1254 to the choir of the Abbey Church. Hugues X de Lusignan, Count of La Marche and Angouleme, went on crusade to Holy Land in 1248. He was mortally wounded at the capture of Damietta.

Count of La Marche and Angouleme, seigneur of Lusignan, Chateau-Larcher, Montreuil-Bonnin and la Mothe-Saint-Heray de Lusignan.

It is unclear whether it was Hugh IX or Hugh X who was betrothed to Isabella of Angoulême when, in 1200, King John of England took her for his queen, an action which resulted in the entire de Lusignan family rebelling against the English king.

Following John's death, Isabella returned to France. By his marriage to Isabella in 1220, Hugh X also became Count of Angoulême, until her death in 1246. Together they founded the abbey of Valence.

HUGUES [XI] "le Brun" de Lusignan ([before 1188]-Damietta 1249 after 15 Jan, bur Abbaye de Valence). "Hugo Brunus comes Marchie, dominus Lezignaci et Coiaci" renounced rights over income belonging to Saint-Hilaire de Poitiers, claimed by "avus meus…dominus Hugo de Lezigniaco" and with the consent of "filio meo Hugone Bruno quem tunc unicum habebam", by charter dated 23 Feb 1200[724]. "Hugo Brunus comes Marchie", on leaving for Jerusalem, recommended "R. comiti Augi et Hugoni filio meo" to take the abbey of Châtelliers under their protection by charter dated to [1200][725]. As noted above, the charter dated 29 Aug 1233 under which Mathilde, widow of Hugues [X] sold her rights for an annuity, strongly suggests that she was not the mother of Hugues [XI]. This appears corroborated by the absence of any papal dispensation for the marriage of Hugues [XI], which would have been required if he had been so closely related to his wife (it is even doubtful whether such a dispensation would have been granted for such a close relationship). It is likely that Hugues [XI] would have been at least a young adolescent when he consented to the charter dated 23 Feb 1200 which is quoted above. "Hugo Bruni dominus Lezigniaci et comes Marchie", on leaving on crusade, and "Hugo de Lezigniaco filius suus" donated half "molendino de Pooillet" to Saint-Maixent by charter dated 27 Jun 1218[726]. He succeeded his father in 1219 as Seigneur de Lusignan, Comte de la Marche. He succeeded in 1220 as Comte d'Angoulême, by right of his wife. Seigneur de Château-Larcher 1223. Louis VIII King of France noted that “Hugo de Lizegnano, comes Marchie” held “Mausiacum pro dotalitio Agathe neptis sue” by charter dated Aug 1224[727]. "Ugo de Leziniaco comes Marchiæ et Engolismæ et Ysabella uxor sua…regina Angliæ comitissa Marchiæ et Engolismæ" reached agreement with Saint-Amant-de-Boixe recorded in a charter dated 1225[728]. Seigneur de Montreuil-Bonnin et de la Mothe-Saint-Héray 1229. “Hugo de Lezigniaco comes Marchie et Engolismi et Y…regina Anglie…comitissa” recorded their peace agreement with Louis IX King of France by charter dated [1] Aug 1242 which names “filii nostri…Hugo Brunus, Guido et Gaufridus de Lezigniaco milites”[729]. "Hugo de Lezigniaco comes Marchie" confirmed donations to the abbey of Châtelliers made by "antecessorum meorum…Hugonis de Lezigniaco proavi mei et Hugonis Bruni comitis Marchie patris mei" by charter dated 22 Jul 1248[730]. The testament of "Hugo de Lezignen comes Marchie", dated 8 Aug 1248, appoints as his heirs "Hugonem Brunum comitem Angolisme, Guidonem, Gaufridum, Willelmum de Vallencia, milites, et Ademarum, clericum, filios meos" and names "Ysabelli quondam uxore mea"[731]. Matthew Paris records the death of "Hugo cognomento Brun comes de Marchia" in 1249 at Damietta[732].
