Hugh, son of Charlemagne

Hugh, son of Charlemagne

Hugh (802-844) was the illegitimate son of Charlemagne and his concubine Regina, with whom he had one other son: Bishop Drogo of Metz (801-855).

Hugh was the abbot of several abbacies: Saint-Quentin (822-823), Lobbes (836), and Saint-Bertin (836). In 834, he was made archchancellor of the Holy Roman Empire by Louis the Pious, his half-brother.

He had a daughter, Petronilla (b. 825), who married Tertullus of Anjou, the father of Ingelger. [http://www.stirnet.com/HTML/genie/ancient/fh/franks3.htm#anjou]
