Hugues d'Aquitaine

  General Notes:

HUGUES d'Aquitaine (-after 1126). "Ugo frater comitis" was named as present when "Guillelmus…Aquitainie similiter et Vasconie dux et comes" confirmed donations to Sainte-Croix, Bordeaux by "genitor noster Guillelmus qui et Gaufridus vocatus est" by charter dated 23 Mar 1096. A charter dated 1104 records that, after the death of "domni Ansculphi abbatis" [abbot of Saint-Jean d'Angély] disputes arose between "Cluniacenses et Angeliacenses monachos" relating to the election of the new abbot, that "dominum Aenricum religione et nobilitate insignitum" was eventually elected in the presence of "[Vuillelmus dux Aquitaniæ]…comes Pictavensis…et Hugone fratre comitis…" but that serious disputes persisted ("gravia…scandalia pro hoc causa apud illas tunc temporis extiterant") and that it was agreed that after abbot Henri died they would elect their own abbot.
