Hugh II, Count of Saint-Pol
- Hugh II, Count of Saint-Pol
Hugh II (French, "Hugues") (d. 1130) was the count of St. Pol in Artois. He participated in the First Crusade with his son Enguerrand, where they both won fame as military leaders. Being vassals of Eustace III of Boulogne, they probably travelled east in his company, among the retinue of Godfrey of Bouillon.
Hugues and Enguerrand participated in the Siege of Antioch in 1097, where they were central in raiding the Turkish forces. Hugues is last mentioned in the east during the Siege of Jerusalem in 1099. In the chronicles of the Crusade, he is described as an aged man.
His son Enguerrand died of disease after the capture of Ma'arrat al-Numan around Christmas 1098. He was succeeded by another son, Hugues III.
