Hugh of Brienne, Count of Brienne, who had claimed the regency (and, indirectly, a place in the succession) in 1264 as senior heir of Henry I of Cyprus, being descendant of the eldest daughter of King Hugh I of Cyprus and Alice of Jerusalem, but was passed over by the Haute Cour in favor of his cousin Hugh of Antioch. This claim fell to his son Walter V of Brienne and his descendants.
He was married to Isabella of Ibelin. He had six children:
John (died 1285) who succeeded him as King of Jerusalem and Cyprus.
The son of Guy of Lusignan, Constable of Cyprus, and Eschiva of Ibelin, Hugh succeeded to the throne of Cyprus on the death of his uncle Henry II, in 1324.
Hugh appears to have been content to rule Cyprus, as he prevented his son, Peter I, from going to Western Europe to recruit support for a new crusade to recover their Kingdom of Jerusalem.
Hugh resigned the crown to his son, Peter I (rather than his grandson Hugh) in 1358, and died on October 10, 1359 in Nicosia.
