http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugues_III_de_Meulan

Hugues III fut comte de Meulan de 1069 à 1077. Il était fils de Galéran III, comte de Meulan, et d'Oda.

Son père s'étant allié à Robert le Magnifique, duc de Normandie, il passa sa jeunesse à la cour ducal à Rouen. En 1035, il est témoin d'un don que le duc fit à l'abbaye Saint-Perre des Préaux, et reçut à l'occasion une gifle à caractère mnémotechnique.

Marié à une Adélaïde, il succéda à son père en 1069, et fit de nombreuses donations à plusieurs abbayes : Saint-Ouen de Rouen, Jumièges, Saint-Wandrille, Bec-Hellouin. En 1077, il légua Meulan à sa sœur Adeline, puis devint moine au Bec-Hellouin. Il mourut le 15 octobre 1081.

In English:

Hugh III was the Comte de Meulan from 1069 to 1077. He was the son of Galeran III, Comte de Meulan, and Oda.

His father was allied with Robert the Magnificent, Duke of Normandy. He spent his youth at the ducal court of Rouen. In 1035, he witnessed the gift that the Duke made of the Abbey of St-Pierre.

He was married to Adelaide, and succeeded his father in 1069. He made many donations to several abbeys: St-Ouen in Rouen, Jumieges, St-Wandrille, and Bec-Hellouin. In 1077, he stepped down as Comte in favor of his sister Adeline and became a monk at Bec-Hellouin. He died on 15 October 1081.

I've never seen a marriage to a (?) de Centerville. Possibly because you list no source, this is speculative or maybe from a less than reliable source like Ancestry.com or familysearch.org? If so, no need to respond.

Few Norman families of the elventh century were more powerful than those of Tosny and Beaumont, but the same period also witnessed the rise of many lesser houses, and of these the first family of Vernon may be taken as an example. When, some time between 1032 and 1035 Duke Robert I [of Normandy] gave land to Saint-Wandrille at Sierville, some ten miles north of Rouen, he did so with the consent of a certain 'Hugh of Vernon,' and other documents show that the family of Hugh had already become possessed of other estates in this district, for in 1053 William of Vernon, together with his father Hugh, who had by now become a monk, gave to Holy Trinity, Rouen, land at Martainville within five miles of the city. It is possible that the full lordship of Vernon passed to this family sometime between these dates. Early in the reign of Duke William he had given Vernon to his cousin Guy of Burgundy, and Guy's disgrace and forfeiture after 1047 may well have provided the opportunity for the rise of the new family.

It is known that Hugh is the son of the Comte Valeran (Galeran) III de Meulan and Oda de Conteville, but it is not known if he is the brother of Marie de Meulan, our family's ancestor.
