Hugh X de Lusignan, Hugh V of La Marche or Hugh I of Angoulême (c. 1183 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,[2] 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 Isabella returned to her native France, where she 
married Hugh X de Lusignan on 10 May 1220 [3]

By Hugh's marriage to Isabella, he became Count of Angoulême until her death in 
1246. Together they founded the abbey of Valence. They had nine children:
Hugh XI de Lusignan, seigneur of Lusignan, Count of La Marche and Count of 
Angoulême (1221–1250)

Châtellerault, Vicomtess of Châtellerault (d. 16 May 1315) and had issue: Eustachie de 
Lusignan (d. Carthage, Tunisia, 1270), married 1257 Dreux III de Mello (d. 1310)

Thouars (d. 1256), and married (3rd) Geoffrey V de Chateaubriant, seigneur of 
Chateubriant
Isabella of Lusignan (1224 – 14 January 1299), lady of Beauvoir-sur-Mer et de 
Mercillac, married (1st) Maurice IV de Craon (1224/1239 – soon before 27 May 
1250/1277) (2nd) Geoffrey de Rancon, seigneur of Taillebourg.

Hugh X was succeeded by his eldest son, Hugh XI of Lusignan.

According to explanations in the manuscripts of Gaucelm Faidit's poems, this 
troubadour was a rival of Hugh X of Lusignan for the love of Marguerite d'Aubusson.

He was buried at Angoulême.
