Pop-up Pedigree

Father   Hugues IX de Lusignan, King of Cyprus2 b. circa 1163, d. November 1219
Mother   Mathilde of Taillefer2 b. circa 1158, d. circa 1239

Name Variation Hugues (Hugh) X de Lusignan was also found as Count Hugh de la Marche le Brun.3 
Birth circa 1183 Hugues (Hugh) X may have been born circa 1183 at Lusignan, Vienne, France. This from Weiss and seems early. A date for his birth of ca 1169 is given by GoldenFrog. This is far too early.4,1,5 
Birth* circa 1195 A birth date of circa 1195 seems more likely.6,7 
Marriage* after 10 October 1216 Hugues (Hugh) X de Lusignan married Isabella Taillefeur of Angoulême, daughter of Amyer Count of Angoulême and Alix de Courtenay, after 10 October 1216. And before 10 May 1220. At one time Isabella was engaged to Hugh X's father, before she married John Lackland.8,3,5,9,4,10,11 
!AInfoNew 1217 Of their children, Ponce, who married Wulgrim d'Angouleme is the only one with descendants. They claimed La Marche, but so did the descendants of Almodis I and Hugh VI. This came to a head when Hugh IX of Lusignan (who had been married the senior heiress to the Angouleme/La Marche claim) was engaged to Isabelle of Angouleme, but she was stolen by King John, who contested with Hugh for the lands of the family. When the dust cleared, Hugh IX's son Hugh X married Isabelle (his almost-step-mother), and La Marche ended up in the Lusignan family. All Kings of England after John descend from Almodis II, while John himself descended from Almodis I and Pons (through his mother Eleanor of Aquitaine, a descendant of William IV of Toulouse), and John's son Henry III, and his son Edward I both married descendants of Almodis I by Raymond Berenger.

 
Note* 1217 This marriage may have taken place in England.12 
!AInfoNew 1242 In 1242 Hugh and his wife were defeated by the French, but King Louis IX forgave them and restored their lands.13 
Death* circa 6 June 1246 Hugues (Hugh) X died circa 6 June 1246. This date is from Weis.4,1,5 
Death 1249 Three internet sources give a date of ca 1249 for his death.7,8,12 
!AInfoNew* 1258 Hugh and Isabella had 9 children, 5 of whom were granted large estates in England by King Henry III. By 1258 they were forced into excile by jealous barons, but were subsequently allowed to return.13
