Hugh was the bishop of Jabala, a town in Syria, during the 12th century. When the County of Edessa fell to Zengi in 1144, Raymond, prince of Antioch, sent Hugh to report the news to Pope Eugene III. In response, Eugene issued the papal bull Quantum praedecessores the following year calling for the Second Crusade. Hugh also told the historian Otto of Freising about Prester John, the mythical Nestorian Christian priest-king of India, who was intending to help the Crusader States against the Saracens. Otto included the story in his Chronicon of 1145; it is the first recorded mention of the Prester John legend.

Hugh I of Cyprus

Hugh I of Cyprus (or Hugues I de Lusignan) (1194/1195 – January 10, 1218) succeeded to the throne of Cyprus on April 1, 1205 underage upon the death of his elderly father Aimery of Lusignan, King of Cyprus and Jerusalem. His mother was Eschiva of Ibelin, heiress of that branch of Ibelins who had held Bethsan and Ramleh.

Hugh was married September, 1210 at Nicosia to his stepsister Alice of Champagne of Jerusalem (1193/1198–1246), daughter of his father's last wife Isabella I of Jerusalem and her previous husband Henry of Champagne, king of Jerusalem. The couple had three children:

Mary of Lusignan (before March, 1215 – 5 July 1251 or 1253), who married Count Walter IV of Brienne in 1233 (ca. 1200 – murdered at Cairo, 1244). She became mother of Hugh of Brienne (ca. 1240–1296), who was Count of Lecce and Brienne and pursued the kingdoms in Levant for himself when his uncle Henry's line began to go extinct. This claim fell to her grandson Walter V of Brienne and his descendants. They are the heirs-general of King Aimery of Cyprus and Hugh I himself.

Day After You

Day After You

by: Chad Brownlee

You wouldn't give me a reason
But I didn't really need it
Cause you told me with that look on your face
Maybe I'm just nieve,
But I always believed
There was no one who could take my place
You're probably out there traveling with him
Singin your favorite song
Like nothing was ever wrong
Well I'm barely hangin on
Your holding on to someone new
And I'm trying to get through
Tryin to get through
The day after you
The day after you
Does he tell you he loves you
Is it real when he's makin love to you,
Do you think about me when he's kissin on your skin
I hate that he's with you and I hate that I miss you
Cause you're happier than you've ever been
Ohhhhhhhh,
And here I am just trying to pretend,
I'm Singin your favorite song
Like nothing was ever wrong
Well I'm barely hangin on
Your holding on to someone new
And I'm trying to get through
Tryin to get through
The day after yooooooou
The day after yooooooou
Yeah I know that you're in love with him
Singin your favorite song
Like nothing was ever wrong
Well I'm barely hangin on
Your holding on to someone new
And I'm trying to get through
Tryin to get through
The day after yoooooou
The day after yoooooou
The day after yoooooou
