From http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:3174654&id=I593872173 :
Name Suffix: Earl of Surrey
REFN: 1019
6th Earl of Surrey (1240-1304); styled Earl of Sussex (1282); warden of Scotland (1296-1297). A ward of Henry III of England after his father's death in 1240, John supported the King against his rebellious barons in 1258. He aided the barons from about 1260 to 1263, but rejoined Henry and fought for him at Lewes in 1264 (see RIN # 669). The King was captured during the battle and John fled to France. He returned to England with the future Edward I in 1265, and freed Henry at the battle of Evesham (see RIN # 3867). In 1282 he assumed the title of Earl of Sussex but his claim was uncertain. He joined Edward I's invasion of Scotland in 1296, took Dunbar castle in April that year and became warden of Scotland in August. On 11 September 1297 his troops were routed by William Wallace at Stirling Bridge, but the following year he helped Edward defeat Wallace at Falkirk.

From http://www.wrexham.gov.uk/english/heritage/holt_castle.htm (Holt Castle) :
Following the defeat of Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, the last independent Prince of Wales in 1282, Edward I gave John de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, the lordship of Bromfield and Yale. To secure his newly gained lands, John built Holt Castle, also known as Lion's Castle, to control a nearby strategic ford across the River Dee. John de Warenne's successor, also John, was leader of the English forces in Scotland. In 1296 he defeated the Red Comyn and the Scottish forces at the Battle of Dunbar and deposed the Scottish King John Balliol. Edward I made de Warenne Regent of Scotland. It was a job that only brought him trouble. William Wallace led a revolt and defeated de Warenne and the English at the Battle of Stirling Bridge on September 11th 1296. De Warenne was forced to flee the field of battle and make his excuses to Edward I "Longshanks".

From History of the Princes, the Lords Marcher, and the Ancient Nobility of Powys Fadog, 1881, Vol. I, p. 389:
"John, Earl of Warren and Surrey, acquired the lordships of Maelor Gymraeg (Bromfield), Chirk, and Iâl, by assassinating the two infant Princes of Powys, Madog and Llywelyn, in 1281."

From Wikipedia - Hugh III of Lusignan :
Hugh III (fl. late tenth century ), called Albus, was the third Lord of Lusignan , probably the son and successor of Hugh II . He confirmed the donation by one of his vassals of the church of Mezeaux to the abbey of Saint-Cyprien and himself granted the abbey the woodland and the public road between Lusignan and Poitiers . He may have been intimate with the comital court of Poitou , for the Duchess Emma, wife of William IV of Aquitaine , imposed a tax on the abbey of Saint-Maixent and gave him the proceeds. His own wife was Arsendis, whom he married in 967, and he was succeeded by his son Hugh Brunus , not the last of that name in the family.

From Wikipedia - Hugh IV of Lusignan :
Hugh IV (c.1026 ), called Brunus (Latin for the Brown), was the fourth Lord of Lusignan . He was the son of Hugh III Albus and Arsendis. He was a turbulent baron, who brought his family out of obscurity and on their way to prominence in European and eventually even Middle Eastern affairs.
Hugh spent many years in war with the Viscounts of Thouars over a fief he claimed was rightfully his. Peace was obtained briefly by Hugh's marriage to Audéarde or Aldiarde, the daughter of the Viscount Ralph . As a dowry, Hugh received the castle of Mouzeuil . Hugh already held the castle of Lusignan , built by his grandfather Hugh Carus , and that of Couhé , built by the duke of Aquitaine . When Ralph, died, however, his successor Geoffrey retook Mouzeuil.
Hugh also engaged in a long war with Aimery I, lord of Rancon , who seized Civray , a fief of Bernard I of La Marche . By alliance with Duke William V of Aquitaine , Hugh and Bernard retook Civray and Hugh held it as a fief, though he lost it soon after. Nevertheless, he continued his war with Aimery.
When the Viscounty of Châtellerault fell vacant, Hugh asked the duke for it, but was put off with empty promises. Hugh waged war with the duke until the latter granted him the fief of Vivonne , which had once belonged to his uncle Joscelin. William later deprived Hugh of the proceeds of the tax on Saint-Maixent which his mother Emma, wife of William IV of Aquitaine , had granted Hugh's father.
On 6 March 1025 , Hugh exchanged lands with the abbey of Saint-Hilaire of Poitiers in order to found a monastery for his soul. The duke obtained two charters from King Robert II confirming this monastic establishment and another at Couhé. Hugh and the Poitevin bishop Isembart then sent letters to Pope John XIX to beg exemption for his monasteries from all authority save that of Nouaillé . Said exemption was granted.
At his monastery of Notre-Dame de Lusignan, a monkish chronicler wrote the Conventum inter Guillelmum ducem Aquitaniae et Hugonem Chiliarchum celebrating Hugh's warmaking. According to the Conventum, Hugh died a year after his final agreement with the duke, probably in 1026 or thereabouts. He left two sons by Audéarde: Hugh V , who succeeded him, and Rorgo.

From Wikipedia - Hugh IX of Lusignan :
Hugh IX the Brown of Lusignan or Hugh IV of La Marche or Hugues IX & IV le Brun de Lusignan[1] (1163 or 1168 - 5 November 1219 ) was the grandson of Hugh VIII . His father, Hugues de Lusignan, b. c. 1141 , Co-Seigneur de Lusignan in 1164 , married Orengarde N before 1162 or about 1167 and died in 1169 leaving a six or one-year-old son. Hugh IX became Seigneur de Lusignan in 1172 , Seigneur de Couhe et de Chateau-Larcher 1190 /1200 , and Count of La Marche by marriage in 1203 and died on the Fifth Crusade at Damietta on 5 November 1219 .
Hugh IX is mentioned under the pseudonym Maracdes ("Emerald") in two poems by the troubadour Gaucelm Faidit , according to the Occitan razós to these poems.
Marriage and issue
His first wife was Agathe de Preuilly, daughter of Peter (Pierre) II de Preuilly and Aenor de Mauleon. Their marriage was annulled in 1189 . According to the below reference, Agathe was the mother of:
His second wife, married c. 1189, was Mahaut or Mathilde Taillifer (Mahaut or Mathilde d'Angoulême) (1181 - 1233 ), daughter of Wulgrin or Vulgrin III Taillifer, Count of Angouleme and Count of La Marche (brother of Aymer/Adhemar Taillifer). According to this reference's chronology[2], Mahaut or Mathilde (which seems more likely since she was the actual Countess of La Marche and so was Hugh X) was the mother of:
