Hugh I (French: Hugues; Greek: Ούγος (Oúgos); 1195 – 10 January 1218) was the king of Cyprus from 1205 until his death. He was nine when he succeeded his father, King Aimery, and his brother-in-law Walter of Montbéliard ruled the kingdom as regent. After reaching the age of majority and assuming personal rule in 1210, Hugh fell out with Walter, who fled to the Kingdom of Jerusalem. He reversed Walter's policies, making peace with the Seljuqs of Rum and siding with the Armenians in the War of the Antiochene Succession. Read more on Wikipedia
