Abstract
Between the end of the XIIth c. and the middle of the XIIIth c., the head of the Lusignan Family was, in the first time, Hugh IX, become the count of the March thanks to his rally to John Lackland, and then his son Hugh X, become in 1220 the count of Angoulême thanks to his marriage with Isabelle of Angoulême, before the fiancée of his father then the widow of John Lackland. When the Capetians brought into conflict with the Plantagenêts, the Lusignans tried to built a great territorial unity in the France of the West by going in support of the ones and the others. Their politics, that is based on the use of parental and feodal bonds, failed facing the progressing Capetian power.
