DU PERCHE Hugues
Birth:          ABT  975 

Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugues_du_Perche
Hugues du Perche was a 10th-century French noble. He was the youngest son of 
Fulcois, the Count of Perche, probably of the family of viscounts from Châteaudun, 
and his wife, Melisende. He was also one of the first known ancestors in male line of 
the Plantagenets.

He married Béatrice de Mâcon, widow of Geoffroy I, Count Gatinais. She was the 
daughter of Albéric ou Aubry II de Mâcon, comte de Mâcon. The children from this 
marriage were:
Geoffrey II, Count of Gâtinais. He was known by the nickname Ferréol ("Ironwood"). 
By his marriage with Ermengarde-Blanche of Anjou, his descendants would not only 
become Count of Anjou, but King of Jerusalem and England as well.
Liétaud ( † 1050), Lord of Yèvres of 1028-1050.

In the charter that his step-son Aubry, Count Gâtinais, and Francon, Bishop of Paris 
signed May 26, 1028, he is quoted as a witness, along with his two sons Geoffroy and 
Liétaud. It is this act that evidences the second marriage of Hugues du Perche with 
Beatrice.

Being from a vassal family of the counts of Blois, while the counts Gâtinais were 
faithful to the Capetian kings of France, the marriage took place probably during a 
period of rapprochement between the two families, during the marriage of King Robert 
II the Pious and Bertha of Burgundy, widow of Eudes I of Blois, between 996 and 
1003.
