Hugh I, Count of Maine

(900 - 933)

According to Wikipedia:

Hugh I was count of Maine (900-933). He succeeded his father as of Count of Maine c. 900.

Life
He was the son of Roger, Count of Maine, and Rothilde, daughter of Charles the Bald.[1] He succeeded his father c. 900.[2] By a marriage of his sister of unknown name[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, Hughʻs mother and Hugh the Greatʻs 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.
