Mentioned in Cockayne's "Complete Peerage" (EU, p.160) as the father of
RAOUL DE LUSIGNAN, but actually was RAOUL's grandfather. See notes on
Hugh's son, HUGH.
In late 1163 Nar ed-din taking advantage of Amalric's absence in Egypt,
attacked Tripoli. He invaded the Buqaia so as to lay siege to Krak castle.
But Hugh de Lusignan, Geoffrey Martel, brother to the Count of
Angouleme, and their followers, were passing through Tripoli on return
from Jerusalem. They joined Count Raymond and an urgent appeal to
Antioch brought Bohemond III and the Imperial general Constantine
Coloman down from the north. This united army marched swiftly through
the hills and surprised the Moslems at their camp below Krak. After a
short battle, in which Coloman and his troops distinguished themselves,
Nar ed-din fled in disorder to Homs, regrouped his army and received
reinforcement whence the Christians abandoned the pursuit. In 1164
Hugh with Bohemond, Raymond of Tripoli and Constantine Coloman were
taken prisoners at the siege of Harenc and taken to Aleppo
