"Geoffroy was prominent in the Second Crusade, having taken the Cross in Vezelay in 1146 together with King Louis VII and other knights. Having crossed into Asia Minor, in 1248 the Crusaders climbed Mount Cadmos, but Geoffroy disobeyed orders and chose to march further than the spot chosen by the king for the camp. In concert with Amadeo III, comte de Savoie (Louis' uncle) he decided that a nearby plateau at Laodicea would make a better camp, an act of disobedience that was reportedly common in the army due to the lack of command from the king. As a result the army was split and disorganised, and the Turks successfully ambushed a major part of it. The king narrowly escaped, and the blame for the massacre fell on Geoffroy. Louis sent him home from the Crusade early as a punishment." [Leo van de Pas, citation details below]Children:

From Wikipedia:
Despite his piety, Hugh was in constant conflict with the abbey of St. Maixent. On numerous occasions his disputes with the monks grew so violent that the duke of Aquitaine, the bishops of Poitiers and Saintes, and Pope Paschal II were forced to intervene. From these conflicts Hugh was dubbed "le diable", the devil, by the monks of St. Maixent.
In 1086 the Castilian army was destroyed in battle by the Almoravids. Hugh's Catalan half-brother, Berenguer Ramon II, Count of Barcelona was threatened by the Almoravids. Hugh VI undertook an expedition to Spain in 1087 along with another half-brother, Raymond IV of Toulouse, to assist the count of Barcelona.Hugh married Hildegarde de Thouars before 1060.
