  === Life Sketch ===
  Hugh VI (c. 1039/1043 – c. 1102), called the Devil, was the Lord of Lusignan and Count of La Marche (as Hugh I), the son and successor of Hugh V of Lusignan and Almodis de la Marche.[1]
  
  Despite his piety, Hugh was in constant conflict with the abbey of St. Maixent.[2] On numerous occasions his disputes with the monks grew so violent that the duke of Aquitaine and the bishops of Poitiers and Saintes had to intercede. At one point, Pope Paschal II threatened Hugh with excommunication.[3] From these conflicts Hugh was dubbed "le diable", the devil, by the monks of St. Maixent.[4]
  
  In 1086 the Castilian army was destroyed at the Battle of Sagrajas by the Almoravids.[5] Hugh's Catalan half-brother, Berenguer Ramon II, Count of Barcelona was threatened by the Almoravids.[5] Hugh VI undertook an expedition to Spain in 1087 along with another half-brother, Raymond IV of Toulouse, to assist the count of Barcelona.[5]
  
  Hugh took the cross for the First Crusade, along with his brothers Raymond and Berenguer.[5] He participated in the Crusade of 1101 and was killed at the battle of Ramla in 1102.[6]

  Hugh married in c. 1065, Hildegarde of Thouars, daughter of Aimery IV of Thouars, Viscount of Thouars, and Aurengarde de Mauleon.[7] They had:

  === Hugh claim to the countship of La Marche ===
  Hugh claim to the countship of La Marche through his mother came to nothing. He took part in the Crusade at Outremer in 1100-01 and was killed in battle in 1102 at Ramleh; the family remained interested in the East. Encyc Britannica 1968, vol.14, p.435.

   Note: HUGUES [VI] "le Diable" de Lusignan, son of HUGUES [V] "le Pieux" Seigneur de Lusignan & his wife Almodis de la Marche (-in France 1110). The Chronicle of Saint-Maixent names "Hugo" as son and successor of "Hugone Lizianici " & his wife[300]. The Chronicle of Saint-Maixent records that twin sons were born to "Hugo Pius de Liziniaco" & his wife[301]. Seigneur de Lusignan et de Couhé. "Hugonis de Liziniaco" subscribed the charter dated [1058/68] of "Aquitanorum…dux Gaufridus"[302]. "Ugo Lezinonensis" renounced rights over lands of Saint-Maixent by charter dated 10 Mar 1069[303]. "Hugo de Leziniaco" recognised himself as vassal of Saint-Maixent for the lands held from the abbey by charter dated 10 Mar 1069[304]. "Hugo vicarius de castro Vicvione et filii mei…Bartholomeus et Giraldus" donated "vicariam…in villa…Condato" to Nouaillé, in memory of "meo…filio Hugoni…defuncto", by charter dated to [1060/78], witnessed by "Hugonis de Liziniaco et fratri suo Iordani, Loni et fratri suo Seguino de Mortemaro castro…"[305]. "Ugone de Liziniaco et filiis eius Ugone videlicet Bruno atque Rorgone" consented to the donation of "medietatem terre mee de Spanias…et apud Turgoniacum" made to Nouaillé by "Guido Arembertus et uxor mea Iescenda…" by charter dated to [1077/91][306].

Guillaume III Comte de Poitou restored "ecclesiam beati Georgii...in Oleronis insula" to Vendôme monastery by charter dated 10 Dec 1096, subscribed by "...Hugo de Liziniaco..." (signing first among the lay witnesses, presumably indicating his age or seniority)[308]. He fought in the crusade in Palestine 1101/03. William of Tyre records the presence at the second capture of Tortosa in 1102 of "Hugo Lisniacensis domini Raimundi comitis Tolosani frater"[309], the two being uterine half-brothers.

The Chronicle of Saint-Maixent records the death in 1110 of "Hugo [de Leziniaco] filius Hugonis Bruni", providing his ancestry "qui fuit Albi, qui fuit Cari, qui fuit Hugonis Venatoris"[312], although this passage appears to omit a generation in the descent. m (before 1060) HILDEGARDE [Aldearde] de Thouars, daughter of AIMERY [IV] Vicomte de Thouars & his first wife Orengarde de Mauléon (-after 7 Dec 1099).

Hugues [VI] & his wife had three children: (Hugues, Rorgon and Yolande).
