   Hugh II of Cyprus (1253–1267), King of Cyprus from birth in 1253 until his death aged 14 in 1267, was the son of Henry I and Plaisance of Antioch. He died childless, ending the direct male line from Aimery through Hugh I. The succession passed to Hugh III of Antioch-Lusignan (great-nephew of Hugh I via Isabella of Cyprus).
