  Notes	Hugh I was count of Maine (900-933). He succeeded his father as of Count of Maine c. 900. Life He was the son of Roger , Count of Maine, and Rothilde, daughter of Charles the Bald. He succeeded his father c. 900. By a marriage of his unnamed sister to Hugh the Great sometime before 917 Hugh became an ally to the Robertians ending a long peroid of hostility between them. Around 922 , King Charles the Simple withdrew the benefit of the Abbey of Chelles to Rotilde, Hugh's mother and Hugh the Great's mother-in-law, to entrust it to a favorite of his, Hagano. The favoritism shown Hagano caused a great deal of resentment and led, in part, to a revolt against Charles the Simple that placed Robert I of France on the throne. Even after the death of his sister when Hugh the Great married a second time he remained an adherent of the Robertians. Family By his unnamed wife, very probably a Rorgonide, he had: Hugh II, Count of Maine (d. bef. 991).
