Fra' Hugues Loubenx de Verdalle (13 April 1531 – 4 May 1595) was the 52nd Grand Master of the Order of Malta, between 1582 and 1595. He is mainly remembered for the reconstruction of the hunting lodge at Boschetto which was renamed Verdala Palace in his honour. He is buried in a sarcophagus in the Crypt of the Co-Cathedral of St. John in Valletta. He was made Cardinal-Deacon of S. Maria in Portico Octaviae by Pope Sixtus V in the consistory of December 18, 1587.[1][2]
