About this person
In 1258 he was recognized as the heir presumptive to-and regent for-King Conrad III of Jerusalem. After the death of Queen Plaisance in 1261, Hugh's cousin Hugh of Antioch was recognized as the new regent. Hugh died shortly before he was to reach the age of majority, which spelled the end of the first Lusignan dynasty in Cyprus. He was succeeded by Hugh of Antioch.
