Hugo I of Le Puiset
Hugo I of Le Puiset , called Blavons (French: Hugues du Puiset ; † December 23, 1094 ), was a lord of Le Puiset and Vice-Count of Chartres .
Hugo was a younger son of Count Erhard I of Breteuil, from whom he inherited the vice-county of Chartres, which was a fiefdom of the Counts of Blois . He also held the castle of Le Puiset as royal castellan. But taking advantage of the immaturity of King Philip I , Hugo revolted against the royal authority and acted as a robber baron. In 1079 he triumphed over the king in a battle at Yèvre and drove the royal knights back to the castle of Étampes to flee . This event was described by Rodulfus Tortarius in his Miracula Sancti Benedicti .
Apparently Hugo approached the king again in the years to come. Because in 1092 he locked the Bishop Ivo of Chartres in a dungeon at Le Puiset because he had refused to agree to the divorce of the king from Bertha of Holland so that he could marry Bertrada of Montfort . Under pressure from Pope Urban II , Hugo had to release the bishop in October 1093.
Hugo I von Le Puiset was married to Alix von Montlhéry, a daughter of the lord of the castle Guido I von Montlhéry . With that he joined an extensive family band of lords of the Île-de-France , who opposed the monarchy for several decades. Her children were among others:
- Erhard III. († August 21, probably 1099), Lord of Le Puiset and Vice-Count of Chartres, died on the First Crusade
- Hugo II († after 1118), Lord of Le Puiset and Vice Count of Chartres, later Count of Jaffa (Hugo I)
- Guido († around 1127), Lord of Méréville and Vice-Count of Étampes
- Gilduin († 1130/1135), clergyman in the Holy Land
- Galleran († 1123/1126), lord of Birejk in the county of Edessa
- Humeberge, ∞ with Vice Count Galon II of Chaumont-en-Vexin
