https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_I,_Count_of_Maine
Hugh I was count of Maine (900–933). He succeeded his father as of Count of Maine
c.?900.
Life[edit]
He was the son of Reginald of Neustria, and Rothilde, daughter of Charles the Bald.
[1] He succeeded his father c.?900.[2] By a marriage of his unnamed sister[a] to Hugh
the Great sometime before 917 Hugh became an ally to the Robertians ending a long
period of hostility between them.[3] Around 922, King Charles the Simple withdrew the
benefit of the Abbey of Chelles from Rotilde, Hugh's mother and Hugh the Great's
mother-in-law, to entrust it to a favorite of his, Hagano.[4] The favoritism shown
Hagano caused a great deal of resentment and led, in part, to a revolt against Charles
the Simple that placed Robert I of France on the throne.[5] Even after the death of his
sister when Hugh the Great married a second time he remained an adherent of the
Robertians.
Family[edit]
By his unnamed wife, very probably a Rorgonide,[6] he had:
Hugh II, Count of Maine (d. bef. 991).[6]
NOTE: Roger of Maine is tagged as Reginald of Neustria, who died in 885. That
doesn't fit with him marrying Rothilde in 890 (see her wiki bio).
