Pop-up Pedigree

Biography*   Hugh I was count of Maine (reigned 900–933). He succeeded his father as of Count of Maine c. 900.

He was the son of Roger, Count of Maine, and Rothilde, daughter of Charles the Bald. He succeeded his father c. 900. By a marriage of his sister of unknown name to Hugh the Great sometime before 917 Hugh became an ally to the Robertians ending a long period of hostility between them. 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. 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. Even after the death of his sister when Hugh the Great married a second time he remained an adherent of the Robertians.
