Hugo V , called the wise ("Callidus") ( French Hugues ; † 1191 ) was a vice count of Châteaudun and lord of Mondoubleau . He was a younger son of Vice Count Hugo IV and Margaret of Saint-Calais. His older brother and predecessor was Gottfried IV.

He feuded with the Count House of Vendôme for the possession of Mondoubleau and wounded Gottfried von Lavardin, the brother of Count Burchard IV. , In battle. This led to an intervention by King Philip II August of France, who took Mondoubleau in June 1189 and made it subordinate to the Count of Vendôme for the time being. Then Hugo took part in the third crusade in the wake of Richard the Lionheart and stood for this in Sicily , together with Gottfried II von Rancon , the French king as a hostage, as pledge for Richard's marriage promise with a sister of Philip II August. Richard the Lionheart later married Berengaria , a daughter of King Sanchos VI. of Navarre . Hugo is later mentioned during the siege of Acre . He died as early as 1191; whether his death occurred in the holy land is unclear.

  • Gottfried V († after November 1218)
  • Agnes († after February 1200)
