Hugh III, also called Hugh of Antioch-Lusignan and the Great, was the king of Cyprus from 1267 and king of Jerusalem from 1268. Born into the family of the princes of Antioch, he effectively ruled as regent for his underage kinsmen Kings Hugh II of Cyprus and Conrad III of Jerusalem for several years. Prevailing over the claims of his cousin Hugh of Brienne and aunt Maria of Antioch, he succeeded both young monarchs upon their deaths and appeared poised to be an effective political and military leader.
