His parents had 9 children and Hugues was the second son (his older brother died 1283). Hugues was born 1282 in Of and died 9 May 1315 in Argilly. He married Catherine de Valois (born 1275) on 24/3/1302. He was involved in a crusade and was king of Thessalonica. Calmette notes that this title was more impressive than the reality, and that adventures in the East did not become a substitute for the nurturing of the duchy in France.
