Hugh had captured Eudes, Count of Corbell, and Louis besieged the fortress at La Ferté-Alais to free him.
His sister Lucienne was briefly married to Louis before he became king.
Hugh married a daughter, name unknown, of Amaury III of Montfort and Richilde de Hainaut (daughter of Baudouin II, Count of Hainaut).
