Hugh the Black

Hugh the Black (died 952) was Duke of Burgundy from 923 until his death in 952.

He was a Bosonid through his father, who was the younger brother of Boso of Provence.

Hugh was the son of Richard of Autun, duke of Burgundy, and Adelaide of Auxerre.

[1] Following Rudolph's death in 936, Hugh may have had aspirations to follow his brother onto the throne and refused to recognize Louis IV as king of West Francia.

As a result, Louis sent Hugh the Great who captured Auxerre and Sens.
