Individual Details
Hugh XI of Lusignan
(1221 - 6 Apr 1250)
According to Wikipedia:
Hugh XI de Lusignan, Hugh VI of La Marche or Hugh II of Angoulême (1221 - 6 April 1250). He succeeded his mother Isabelle of Angoulême, former queen of England, as Count of Angoulême in 1246. He likewise succeeded his father Hugh X as Count of La Marche in 1249. Hugh XI de Lusignan was the half-brother of King Henry III of England.[1]
Life
Hugh XI was betrothed in 1224 to Joan of Toulouse, the daughter and heiress of Raymond VII, Count of Toulouse and his wife Sancha de Aragón.[2] The betrothal was later broken and Joan was married to Alphonse, Count of Poitiers, brother of King Louis IX of France.[2]
By the Treaty of Vendôme in March 1227, Hugh XI was next betrothed to Isabelle of France, the daughter of Louis VIII of France and Blanche of Castile. However, Isabelle would later break off their marriage plans.[a]
Marriage and family
Hugh XI married Yolande of Brittany (1218 - 1272) in 1236,[1] the daughter of Peter I, Duke of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, and Alix.
Hugh XII of Lusignan. Married Jeanne de Fougères
Guy de Lusignan (died 1288/89)
Geoffrey de Lusignan (died 1264)
Alice (or Alix) de Lusignan ( after October 1236- May 1290). Married Gilbert de Clare, 7th Earl of Gloucester[3]
Mary (or Marie) de Lusignan (1242-after 11 July 1266). Married Robert de Ferrers, 6th Earl of Derby[4]

Yolande de Lusignan (died 10 November 1305). Married Pierre I, seigneur of Préaux
Hugh XI's wife Yolande never remarried.
Death
In 1249 he agreed to serve the count of Poitiers for a year on the Seventh Crusade. Hugh was killed on 6 April 1250 during the Battle of Fariskur, which was the last major battle of the Seventh Crusade. He was on crusade with Louis IX of France. His son Hugh XII succeeded him as Count of La Marche and Angoulême. [b]
Notes
After Isabelle broke the betrothal to Hugh XI she broke a subsequent betrothal to Conrad IV of Germany.
Hugh XI's wife Yolande survived him. Upon her death, her Breton entitlements reverted to the House of Dreux in the name of her brother, John I, Duke of Brittany. This effectively ended any significant future interaction of Hugh's XI's family with the Duchy of Brittany.
