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''.

The fact that in later years the Lusignans held the forest from the east of their castle from the Bishop of Poitiers suggest that he held his office from that prelate. He was in turn succeeded by his son, Hugh II Carus who built the Castle of Lusignan. Hugh I may be the inspiration of the Raymond of Poitou Poitou (, , ; ; Poitevin: ''Poetou'') was a province of west-central France whose capital city was Poitiers.
