Hugues I
Count of Maine, before 900-after 931 (after 939?).
[Count of Poitou, 938?]
Count Hugues, consanguineus of king Charles, appears with his mother Rothilde in a document of king Charles the Simple dated 31 October 900 ["... adeuntes nostrae dignitatis excellentiam dulcissima genitrix nostra Adeleidis et dilectus comes Hugo consanguineus ... in comitatu quoque Coenomannico Nunniagum villam, quam dedit Hugo comes et mater sua Rodhildis sancto Ebrulfo, in vicaria Gaviacense cum omnibus apendiciis." Werner (1958), 281-2, n. 128, citing Lauer, Recueil des actes de Charles le Simple, 75ff. (#35), which is not easily available to me; see also Werner (1967), 423]. The obvious suggestion that the Hugues of this 900 document was a count of Maine is confirmed by an act of 31 March 914, in which he appears as "Cinomanorum comitis" in a charter of duke Robert, abbot of Saint-Martin de Tours (later king Robert I) ["S. domni Hugonis Cinomanorum comitis qui aderat." Werner (1958), 287]. Count Hugues, son of Roger, appears in two charters of Hugues le Grand dated 3 May 930 [Latouche (1910), 137 (#1); see Werner (1958), 280, n. 121, 284-6, for the date as 930 instead of Latouche's 929] and 26 March 931 [Latouche (1910), 137 (#2)]. Since a count Roger of Maine is known from just prior to 900, these four documents fit together very well, and it is now generally acknowledged that they refer to the same count Hugues. He has sometimes been identified with the Hugues, count of Poitou, who appears in a charter of 936âó7 and another of April 938 (see the Commentary section below). According to a late source, he was still living on 1 August 939, when he participated in a battle against the Normans along with the count of Rennes and count Alain of Nantes [Le Baud (2nd redaction), 134, citing unspecified annals].
Date of Birth: Unknown.
Place of Birth: Unknown.
Date of Death: Living 26 March 931, perhaps still alive 1 August 939.

Father: Roger, d. before 31 October 900, count of Maine.
Mother: Rothilde, daughter of Charles the Bald, king of the Western Franks, Emperor.

Commentary
No known document gives us the identity of the wife of count Hugues I of Maine, nor is there any clear documentation for any children of Hugues.
Possible children:
See the page of Hugues II for a discussion of his parentage. Gauzlin is documented as a brother of Hugues II, so his attribution as a son of Hugues I depends on the correctness of the theory that Hugues II was a son of Hugues I.
MALE Hugues II, d. 976âó992, count of Maine.
MALE Gauzlin.
[Keats-Rohan (1994), 19 & n. 97, citing a 990 charter of Mont Saint-Michel which mentions a Rorgo, son of Gauzlin, filius nepos fratris Hugonis cenomannensis, with the footnote reading: "Printed in Morice, Histoire ecclâ©siastique et civile de Bretagne, Preuves, t. I (Paris 1742), col. 350-1; edited by Hubert Guillotel, 'Les actes des ducs de Bretagne (940-1148)', doctoral thesis, Paris, 1976, no. 6, 21-30, and discussed by id., 'Des vicomtes d'Alet aux vicomtes de Poudouvre', Sociâ©tâ© d'histoire et d'archâ©ologie de l'arondissement de Saint-Malo, Annales 1988, 205; compare Potts, 'Normandy or Brittany', 145 and n. 46." See also Keats-Rohan (1996), 15 & n. 12 and Keats-Rohan (2000), 60 & n. 27, both with the same citations from Morice and Guillotel, but without the citation from Potts] The reason for citing Morice (1742) is unclear, as the part of the charter quoted by Morice (evidently not the entire charter) does not give the parentage of Rorgo, and does not mention a Gauzlin or a Hugues of Maine. The citation from Potts lists manuscripts containing the charter, and notes that Morice's version of the charter is different, but does not mention Rorgo or Gauzlin [Potts (1989), 145, n. 6]. I have not seen the thesis of Guillotel.
Hugues as a possible count of Poitou
In a charter from the cartulary of Saint-Cyprien dated April 938 there appears a certain Hugues, count of Poitou ["Hugo, comes Pictav." Cart. S.-Cyprien, 61 (#65)]. He is evidently the same person as the count who appears with another count Hugh in a charter of 936âó7 ["S. Willelmi comitis, Hugoni comitis, item Hugoni, ..., Radulfi vicecomitis, ..." Cart S.-Cyprien, 325 (#549)]. The presence of a viscount named Raoul (possibly Raoul, viscount of Le Mans) in the second witness list has encouraged the identification of the two men named Hugues with Hugues I and Hugues II of Maine. The Poitevin connections of Fulcoin/Foulques, a son of Hugues II, would also seem to encourage this identification. If the identification is correct, it would also strengthen the identification of Hugues II as a son of Hugues I. [See Keats-Rohan (1997), 194; Settipani (2004), 233, 284, n. 7; both cite the 1981 doctoral thesis of Jean-Pierre Brunterc'h, which I have not seen]
Conjectured connections
There have been a number of conjectured connections of Hugues I of Maine which are based mainly on onomastic considerations. There does not appear to be any direct evidence for any of the following conjectures.
Conjectured wife: NN, daughter of count Gauzlin.
Gauzlin was the name of the (evidently Rorgonid) count of Maine who opposed count Roger of Maine (father of Hugues) in the 890's. This conjecture is based on the appearance of the Rorgonid names Gauzlin and Rorgo among the descendants of Hugues, assuming the above Gauzlin to be a son of Hugues [Keats-Rohan (1996), 27; Keats-Rohan (1997), 194-5; Keats-Rohan (2000), 65; Settipani (2000), 257-8; the latter two give her the conjectured named Bilichildis].
Conjectured son:
MALE Hervâ©, count of Perche/Mortagne.
Conjectured granddaughters:
FEMALE Hildegarde, m. Geoffrey I, viscount of Châ¢teaudun.
FEMALE Gerberge, m. (1) Bâ©renger; (2) Gelduin de Saumur.
Hildegarde and Gerberge are documented as sisters in a 980 charter from the cartulary of Saint-Florent [Settipani (1997), 259 & n. 236]. Without offering a reason, Keats-Rohan makes them grandchildren of Hugues I of Maine, with an unspecified intermediate link [Keats-Rohan (1996), 27; Keats-Rohan (1997), 194, 202; Keats-Rohan (2000), 65]. Discussing the origin of viscountess Hildegarde of Châ¢teaudun, Settipani conjectured that Hildegarde and Gerberge were daughters of Hervâ© of Perche and that Hervâ© was a son of Hugues I of Maine, with both links indicated by dotted lines [Settipani (2000), 256-8]. The argument was onomastic, based largely on the appearance of the names Hugues and Hervâ© among the children of the two sisters. The Bâ©renger who was the first husband of Gerberge has sometimes been incorrectly identified with Juhel Bâ©renger, count of Rennes.
Conjectured daughters:
FEMALE NN, m. Gui, fl. 937, count.
[Conjectured parents of Rothilde, m. (1) Archambaud, viscount of Comborn; (2) Gâ©raud, viscount of Limoges]
FEMALE Rothilde, m. Ainaud, fl. 937.
These two conjectured daughters are onomastically based, with no direct supporting evidence. The main factor is the presence of the name Rothilde, also the name of the mother of Hugues. In the case of the unnamed wife of Gui, the presence of the names Hugues and Geoffroy among the sons of viscount Gâ©raud is also mentioned in support of the hypothesis [Settipani (2004), 233-7]
