=== Life Sketch ===
Traditional accounts made Hugh IX the son of Hugh VIII and hence older brother of Geoffrey, Aimery and Guy, yet their personal timelines suggested that Hugh IX was younger than them. A reevaluation of the primary record revealed that there had been an intermediate Hugh, who took control of Lusignan when his father Hugh VIII left on crusade. This Hugh died in 1169, leaving a widow Orengarde. By the time this discovery of this 'extra' Hugh was made, the numbering of the Hughs had become standard among historians, and the preference among historians has been to leave Hugh unnumbered, rather than introduce the confusion that would come from numbering all subsequent Hughs.
Ralph de Lusignan, by marriage Count of Eu, was likewise traditionally made son of Hugh VIII, but he seems to have been of similar age to Hugh IX, and hence son of this unnumbered Hugh rather than Hugh VIII.

Note: HUGUES [IX] de Lusignan (-before 16 Mar 1169). "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…"[368]. An undated charter of "Hugo de Lesignan filius Burgundiæ" records to his donation to the abbey of l'Absie with the consent of "patre meo Ugone Lezigniaci"[369]. "Hugues le Brun" donated property, for the souls of "sa femme Aurengardis, son fils Hugues, sa fille Ainordis et son frère Geoffroy", by charter dated 12 Nov 1166[370]. "Gaufridus de Lizigniaco" donated property to the abbey of l'Absie for the souls of "fratris mei Hugonis" with the consent of "Burgundie matre mea" dated "primie die post sepulturam Hugonis fratris mei…1169"[371]. m [firstly] ORENGARDE, daughter of ---. "Hugues le Brun" donated property, for the souls of "sa femme Aurengardis, son fils Hugues, sa fille Ainordis et son frère Geoffroy", by charter dated 12 Nov 1166[372]. [m secondly [as her first husband,] DOUCE, daughter of --- (-after 1168).] A charter dated 1168 records a donation of property to the Knights Hospitallers by "Hugo de Lusignan, Dulcia uxor et Alamanda filia eiusdem"[373]. This assumes that "Hugo de Lusignan" in this document can be identified with Hugues [IX] de Lusignan. Hugues [IX]’s widow may have married secondly, as his second wife, Guillaume [III] Maingot Seigneur de Surgères. This second marriage is suggested by the document, dated (by Delisle) to [1209], under which "comes Augi" (Raoul de Lusignan "d’Exoudun" Comte d’Eu, see below) pledged his lands for his homage to Philippe II King of France, and that of "fratres sui comes Marchie et vicecomes Castri Eraudi"[374]. Assuming that this document is correctly dated, "vicecomes Castri Eraudi" at the time was Hugues de Surgères. A second marriage of Raoul’s mother would be the only way in which Hugues de Surgères could be correctly called "frater" of Hugues [X] de Lusignan and Raoul de Lusignan Comte d’Eu. If Orengarde/Douce can correctly be identified as the [second] wife of Hugues [IX], and mother of Raoul, it is likely that she was heiress of Exoudun which was transmitted to Raoul.] Hugues [IX] & his [first] wife had [two] children:
a) HUGUES [X] "le Brun" de Lusignan (-Damietta 5 Nov 1219).
b) AINORDIS .
Hugues [IX] & his [second] wife had [two] children:
c) [ALAMANDA (-after 1168).
d) RAOUL de Lusignan "d'Exoudun" ([1169]-Melle 1 May 1219, bur Exoudun).
