  From Medieval Lands: HUGUES [VIII] "le Brun" de Lusignan, son of HUGUES [VII] "le Brun" Seigneur de Lusignan & his first wife --- (-[in Palestine after 1164]). "Hugo Brunus de Liziniaco" recognised himself as the vassal of Saint-Maixent for the lands held from the abbey with the consent of "uxore mea Sarracena et filiis meis Hugone et Guillelmo" by charter dated 1106[347]. “Ugo Brunus de Liziniaco…filii mei Ugo de Liziniaco, Willelmus de Englia, Rorgo, Simo de Lozaico, Walerannus” were forgiven for their injustices against “ecclesiam S. Petri Pictavensis” (La Celle, outside Poitiers) by charter dated 1144[348]. Seigneur de Lusignan. "Ugo de Liziniaco" renounced rights over "terram…Ioarena" in favour of Nouaillé by undated charter, subscribed by "…Burgundie uxoris sue, Ugonis filii sui, Roberti filii sui, Gaufredi filii sui, Petri filii sui…"[349]. "Hugo Brunus comes Marchie", on leaving for Jerusalem, confirmed the grant of rights to the abbey of Châtelliers made "in 1171" by "Hugo Lezenniaci castelli" by charter dated 1218[350]. The original grant was more likely dated to before 1163 as no other evidence has been found that Hugues [VIII] made a second journey to Jerusalem in 1171. William of Tyre names him "Hugo de Liniziaco senior…cognominatus Brunus" when he arrived on pilgrimage in Jerusalem in 1163 with "Gaufridus cognominatus Martel" brother of the Count of Angoulême[351]. William of Tyre records that he combined forces with Raymond III Count of Tripoli, Konstantinos Kalamános, and Bohémond III Prince of Antioch to repel the attack by Nur ed-Din on the castle of Krak in Sep 1163[352]. Hugues joined the same group in Aug 1164 to relieve another attack on Harenc, but was captured in an ambush at Artah, together with the other leaders, and taken bound to Aleppo[353]. A letter from Aimery Patriarch of Antioch to Louis VII King of France, dated 1164, records that "Hugo de Lesiniaco" was captured in the battle to capture "castellum…Harenc"[354]. According to Edbury, he never regained his freedom[355]. m (before 1147) BOURGOGNE de Rancon, daughter of GEOFFROY [III] de Rancon Seigneur de Taillebourg & his wife --- (-after 11 Apr 1169). "Burgunna uxor Ugoni de Lezinan" donated land "juxta Barra Marian" to Absie, with the consent of "Ugone marito suo et Gaufrido de Rancone patre suo", by undated charter[356]. Painter states that her marriage portion was the castle of Vouvant[357]. "Ugo de Liziniaco" renounced rights over "terram…Ioarena" in favour of Nouaillé by undated charter, subscribed by "…Burgundie uxoris sue, Ugonis filii sui, Roberti filii sui, Gaufredi filii sui, Petri filii sui…"[358]. Hugues [VIII] & his wife had seven children: (Hugues [IX], Robert. Geoffroy. Pierre, Amaury [Aimery], Guy and Guillaume).
