Hugh Grenier (died 1168/1174) was the lord of Caesarea from 1149/1154 until his death. He was the younger son of Walter I Grenier and his wife, Julianne. His older brother, Eustace (II), was prevented by leprosy from inheriting the lordship and it passed to Hugh.[1]
The date of Walter I's death and Hugh's accession is unknown. Walter was still alive and ruling in 1149, and Hugh is first attested as lord by a royal charter of 1154. It is possible that his elder brother Eustace briefly held the lordship before joining the Order of Saint Lazarus for lepers. Unlike his father, Hugh had a close relationship with the kings of Jerusalem. He was a patron of the Order of the Hospital.[2]
