Notes

Hugh X de Lusignan, Hugh V of La Marche or Hugh I of Angoulême or Hugues X & V & I de Lusignan (c. 1183[1] or c. 1195 – c. 5 June 1249, Angoulême) succeeded his father Hugh IX as Seigneur de Lusignan and Count of La Marche in November, 1219 and was Count of Angoulême by marriage.
His father Hugh IX de Lusignan was betrothed to marry 12 year-old Isabel of Angoulême in 1200, when King John of England took her for his Queen, an action which resulted in the entire de Lusignan family rebelling against the English king. Following John's death, Queen Isabel returned to her native France, where she married 10 May 1220 Hugh X de Lusignan. By Hugh X's marriage to Isabel of Angoulême (1188 – Fontrevault Abbey, France, 31 May 1246 and buried there) in 10 March - 22 May 1220, Hugh X became Count of Angoulême until her death in 1246. Together they founded the abbey of Valence. They had nine children:
