  === Life Sketch ===
  Hugh I was count of Maine (900-933). He succeeded his father as of Count of Maine c.?900.
  
  «b»Life«/b»
  He was the son of Roger, Count of Maine, and Rothilde, daughter of Charles the Bald. He succeeded his father c.?900. By a marriage of his sister of unknown name to Hugh the Great sometime before 917 Hugh became an ally to the Robertians ending a long period of hostility between them. Around 922, King Charles the Simple withdrew the benefit of the Abbey of Chelles from Rotilde, Hugh's mother and Hugh the Great's mother-in-law, to entrust it to a favorite of his, Hagano. The favoritism shown Hagano caused a great deal of resentment and led, in part, to a revolt against Charles the Simple that placed Robert I of France on the throne. Even after the death of his sister when Hugh the Great married a second time he remained an adherent of the Robertians.

  === Lusignan is the name of a family of Poit ===
  Lusignan is the name of a family of Poitevin origin in the 10th century. This dynasty provided counts of La Marche and Angouleme in feudal France and kings of Jerusalem, Cyprus and Armenia. The castle of Lusignan (modern Vienne) is associated with the legend of Melusine. Information on this line down through Hugh XIII from Encyc. Britannica 1968, vol.14, p. 435.
  
  === Mythology: The castle at Lusignan is s ===
  Mythology: The castle at Lusignan is said to be have been built by Raymond, a relative of the Counts Poitiers and his mythical wife, the spirit of the fountain of Lusignan. He broke his vow and spied her on a Saturday, to find that she had turned into a serpent from the waist down. She flew out of the castle window never to be seen again, but on the death of a member of the Lusignan family, she is heard crying out. Another source states she was a daughter of the fairy Pressine, whom she had shut up in a mountain to avenge his wrongs, but he caste a spell that she should metamorphosed every Saturday, unless and until she found an husband who would vow not to see her on Saturdays. This history is related at length with the adventures of Melusine's numerous progeny, by Jean d'Arras, in his Chronique de la Princesse, written in 1387 at the desire of John, Duke of Berry, for the amusement of the duke and of his sister Marie of France, Duchess of Bar. Some writers have supposed Melusine to be a corruption of mere Lucine, the deity invoked in childbirth, widow of a king of Jerusalem, and with Mevrant, wife of Geoffroi de Lusignan. Many of the Lusignan's have the soubriquet 'le Brun'. Perhaps this indicates foreign (eastern?) blood.
