Hugh I Of Lusignan
Hugh I (est. 885-930) (fl. early tenth century), called ''Venator'' (Latin for ''the Hunter''), was the first Lord of Lusignan. He is mentioned in the ''Chronicle of Saint-Maixent''.

He was in turn succeeded by his son, Hugh II Carus who built the Castle of Lusignan.

Hugh III Of Cyprus
Hugh III (french: Hugues; – 24 March 1284), also called Hugh of Antioch-Lusignan and the Great, was the king of Cyprus from 1267 and king of Jerusalem from 1268.

Marital alliances brought to him steadfast loyalty of the most powerful noble families, the Ibelins and the Montforts, but his efforts on the mainland were doomed to failure by the hostility of the Venetian merchants and the Knig ...
