Hugh of Sully

Hugh of Sully (French: Hugues de Sully) was a general under the Sicilian King Charles of Anjou.

A Burgundian knight of fiery and haughty temperament, according to the chroniclers, Hugh was named Vicar-General of Charles' Kingdom of Albania in August 1279, and led the Sicilian forces in their unsuccessful attempt to take Berat from the Byzantine Empire in 1280–1281.

Sully was taken prisoner in an ambush, whereupon his army scattered and suffered many losses to the pursuing Byzantines.

Sully was eventually released after years in Byzantine captivity and returned to Italy.
