Fan Casting Hugh IX of Lusignan in Robin Hood and the House of Plantagenet (TV-Series)

The headstrong head of the Lusignan house in France and a man who believes he has been robbed of a queen. Originally betrothed to Isabella of Angoulême, Hugh finds himself cast aside when her parents pivot to the more powerful Prince John. This perceived betrayal has turned the Lusignans into a volatile wild card; while his uncles Guy and Geoffrey serve Richard in the East, Hugh’s resentment at home makes him a dangerous element in Aquitaine. He is a prideful lord who sees John’s move for Isabella as a personal insult, threatening to ignite a regional civil war that could shatter Eleanor’s southern base.
