Hugh of Rouen (died 730)

Hugh of Rouen (died 730) was the son of Duke Drogo of Champagne and his wife Anstrudis.

[1] Hugh was the grandson of Pepin of Heristal and Plectrude on his father's side,[2] and of Waratton and Ansfledis on his mother's.

Paul Fouracre regards the education of Hugh as an example of the important role of women in Frankish family fortunes and in politics generally.

[3] While still a layman, Hugh was endowed with Jumièges Abbey, which he entered as a monk in 718 under Abbot Cochin.

In the ninth century his relics were relocated to Belgium in order to save them from profanation at the hands of Vikings.
