Hugh I (fl. early tenth century) called Venator (Latin for the Hunter) was the first Lord of Lusignan. He is mentioned in the Chronicle of Saint-Maixent. It has been hypothesised that he was the huntsman (‘Le Veneur’ in his native French) of the Count of Poitou or the Bishop of Poitiers on the basis of his epithet. He was succeeded by his son Hugh II Carus who built the Castle of Lusignan.
