HUGUES [IV] "le Brun" de Lusignan, son of HUGUES [III] "le Blanc" Sire de Lusignan & his wife Arsende --- (-[1025/32]). The Chronicle of Saint-Maixent names "Hugonis Bruni" as "castrum Liziniacum…domini" and son of "Hugonis Albi"[794]. Sire de Lusignan. "Ugo Liziniacensis domnus" donated property to St Cyprien, Poitiers by charter dated [1012/18], subscribed by "Arsendis matris eius"[795]. "Wilelmus Pictavorum comes et dux Aquitanorum…filius Guillelmi comitis" [Guillaume V Duke of Aquitaine] granted revenue to "militi meo…Ugoni", to compensate him for the loss of revenue from a tax imposed on the town of Saint-Maixent, by charter dated to [1023/26][796]. A manuscript, entitled "Conventus inter Comitem et Ugonem" by Besly, records that "Aquitanorum comes…Willelmus" agreed that "Hugone Chiliarchum" would acquire "vicecomiti Bosoni, honorem eius"[797]. The same manuscript records the territorial ambitions of "Hugone Chiliarchum" in "castro…Vicredoni…castrumCoacus…Kaziaco…castrum Malavallis…Malè…Aspremundo castro…castrum Gentiaco…"{[Vicredonus], Couhé, Chizé, Malvau, Melle, [Aspremont], Gençay}[798]. A manuscript, entitled "Conventus inter Comitem et Ugonem" by Besly, recounts the failed marriage proposal between "vicecomiti Radulfi filiam" {Vicomte de Thouars} and "Hugone Chiliarchum", and between the latter and "de castro Parteniaco Ioscelinus…honorem et mulierem eius"[799]. The "Conventus inter Comitem et Ugonem" records that Hugues [IV] died a year after his final agreement with Duke Guillaume[800]. Painter suggests that his death should be dated to some time between 1025 and 1032[801].
m AUDEARDE, daughter of ---. "Hugo Liziniacensis" donated property to St Cyprien by charter dated [1025] "sub testimonio Hildeardis uxoris sue et infantum suorum Hugonis et Rorgonis, Walterii prepositi et Belielini filii eius"[802]. The naming of Audéard's grandson, Jourdain, suggests a connection with the family of Chabanais. In addition, the cartulary of Lesterps states that Jourdain [III] de Chabanais was killed at "Casech", most likely Chizé, which had been taken by Hugues [IV] Sire de Lusignan in order to obtain Vivonne. Duguet records that the name "Audeard" is found in the Chabanais family, a first cousin of Jourdain [III] of this name being a nun at Saint-Sylvain de la Mongie in 1010[803].
