Relationships

Father: Hugues IX "le Brun" de Lusignan, count of La Marche.

This relationship is given by père Anselme (3:78) and by van Eickels.

(probable) Mother: Agatha de Preuilly.

Painter (p. 379) states that Hugh X must have born by a previous wife to Mathilde. In a discussion on soc.genealogy.medieval, Peter Stewart notes that Europäische Stammtafeln (which I have not checked) notes that "Agatha's son by Bernard de Brosse, Viscount Gerard V, was recorded as "frater" to "Hugues X [de Lusignan] Cte de la Marche" and that the latter was known in 1204 as "nepos" to Agatha's father Pierre II de Montrabel, seigneur of Preuilly." Cawley cites a charter giving Gerard's mother as Agatha de Preuilly. Van Eickels gives this relationship.

Spouse: Isabelle d’Angoulême.

This relationship is given by père Anselme (3:78) and by van Eickels.
