Hugh VI (c. 1039/1043 – c. 1103/1110), called the Devil, was the Lord of Lusignan 
and Count of La Marche (as Hugh I), the son and successor of Hugh V of Lusignan 
and Almodis de la Marche. He participated in the Crusade of 1101 as part of the army 
of William IX.

Despite his piety, Hugh was in constant conflict with the abbey of St. Maixent. On 
numerous occasions his disputes with the monks grew so violent that the duke of 
Aquitaine, the bishops of Poitiers and Saintes, and Pope Paschal II were forced to 
intervene. From these conflicts Hugh was dubbed "le diable", the devil, by the monks 
of St. Maixent.

In 1086 the Castilian army was destroyed in battle by the Almoravids. Hugh's Catalan 
half-brother, Berenguer Ramon II, Count of Barcelona was threatened by the 
Almoravids. Hugh VI undertook an expedition to Spain in 1087 along with another 
half-brother, Raymond IV of Toulouse, to assist the count of Barcelona.

Hugh took the cross for the First Crusade, along with his brothers Raymond and 
Berenguer. He participated in the Crusade of 1101.

From his marriage c. 1065 to Hildegarde or Ildégarde de Thouars, daughter of Aimery 
IV of Thouars, Vicomte de Thouars, and wife Aurengarde de Mauleon, Hugh had a son 
and successor, Hugh VII of Lusignan.
