Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox noble Hugh IV (died 25 March 1051) was Count of Maine from 1036 to 1051.

Life

Hugh was the son of Count Herbert I of Maine,[1] one of the Hugonides.[lower-alpha 1] He was a minor on the death of his father (1036) so was born between 1018 and 1022. Herbert Baco, his great-uncle and a supporter of the Angevins, acted as regent.[2]

The bishop of Le Mans, Gervais de Château-du-Loir, was a partisan of the opposing Blois family.[2] The bishop and regent clashed, with the outcome being the expulsion of Herbert by means of a popular council.[3] Gervais then proclaimed Hugh to have reached his majority, and arranged a marriage for him, with Berthe of Blois.[4]

Herbert, unlike his predecessors, followed the advice of his bishop.[4] Gervais, unlike his uncle who he succeeded, Avesgaud de Bellême (who was an adherent of the counts of Anjou) was allied to the counts of Blois.[5] Hugh, no doubt in support of his bishop, engaged in a number of wars with Count Geoffrey Martel of Anjou in the Loir valley.[3] Shortly after Hugh's death, 26 March 1051,[6] Gervais sought refuge in Normandy after being driven out of Maine.[4] Gervais' success in strengthening the Bishopric of Le Mans served to downgrade the countship of Maine, which led to the county being absorbed into the domains of Anjou and Normandy.[3]
