Hugh VII of Lusignan

Hugh VII the Brown of Lusignan or Hugues II de La Marche (French: Hugues le Brun) (1065–1151), Sire de Lusignan, Couhé and Château-Larcher and Count of La Marche, was the son of Hugh VI of Lusignan. He was one of the many notable Crusaders in the Lusignan family. In 1147 he took the Cross and followed King Louis VII of France on the Second Crusade.

Biography

Hugh married before 1090 Sarrasine or Saracena de Lezay (1067–1144), whose origins are unknown. She may have been the same Saracena who was widow of Robert I, Count of Sanseverino. Their children were:

Hugh VIII of Lusignan
William de Lusignan, Lord of Angles
Rorgo de Lusignan
Simon de Lusignan, Seigneur de Lezay
Galeran de Lusignan
Ænor or Aénor de Lusignan (b. c. 1130), married before 1144 Geoffroy V de Thouars (c. 1120 – aft. 1176), Vicomte de Thouars

Hugh is mentioned by troubadour Jaufre Rudel in the envoi of "Quan lo rius de la fontana":

*Senes breu de parguamina
Tramet lo vers en cantan
En plana lengua romana,
A'n Ugo Bru per Filhol.*				"Without a parchment scroll
I send this poem, singing
in plain Romance language,
to Hugo Brown, through Filhol."
