Hugh was the eldest son of Barisan of Ibelin and Helvis of Ramla. After Barisan died in 1150, Hevlis married the constable of Jerusalem, Manasses, who was one of the strongest supporters of Queen Melisende in the power struggle against Melisende’s son Baldwin III. Manasses was exiled in 1152 when Baldwin was victorious in this struggle, allowing Hugh to inherit Ramla from his mother. Hugh took part in the capture of Ascalon in 1153, and in 1157 was captured in battle at Banias, being released probably the next year.
