Hugo de Champagne-Fontenelle, Évêque de Bayeux et de Paris

Medlands (24 May 2018) Franks, Merovingian Nobility.

b) HUGO (-Jumièges Apr 730, bur Jumièges). The Annales Metenses name "Drogoni…filium…Hugonem" and record that he was brought up by "matrona Ansfredis avia sua relicta uxor Warattonis"[152]. Assuming that the reference to Ansfredis is correct, she was the great-grandmother of Hugo not his grandmother, if the origin of Hugo's mother is correctly identified above. He is named as son of Drogo and Adeltrude in the Gesta Fontanellensium[153]. A charter dated 25 Jun 715, classified as spurious in the collection, purports to record the donation by "Hugo sacerdos et germanus meus…Arnulfus dux nec non Pippinus et Godefridus" to the church of Metz which names "genitorem nostrum…Drogonem…avus noster Pippinus", subscribed by "Milonis, Widonis comitis, Remberti comitis, Lamtberti comitis, Warnarii comitis"[154]. Abbé de Saint-Denis, Jumièges et Fontenelle. Elected Bishop of Rouen 719, and Bishop of Bayeux and Paris 723. He supported Charles "Martel" and was rewarded with the abbacy of St Wandrille in 723, and the abbacies of Jumièges, La Croix and Saint-Leufroy[155].
