Hugh I of Le Puiset (died 23 December 1096), son of Everard I of Breteuil and his wife Humberge.[1]
In 1067, taking advantage of the weakness of Philip I of France, he seized the royal castle of Puiset and settled there. In 1073, Theobald III, Count of Blois, became Count of Chartres and did not hesitate to defy royal order, defeating the royal army in 1079 at Le Puiset. He took as prisoner Ivo, Bishop of Chartres, and kept him confined for two years.
Hugh married Alice of Montlhéry, daughter of Guy I, lord of Montlhéry, and Hodierna de Gometz.[1] The family of Montlhéry was also part of the turbulent nobility that King Louis VI would have to put down a generation later.[citation needed] The alliances of the Montlhéry Clan formed a broad network of nobles who engaged heavily in the Crusades.
Hugh and Alice had at least nine children:
Odeline of Puiset (d. before 2 November 1107), married Joscelin IV of Lèves, a Crusader.[1] Their daughter (name unknown) married Ralph the Red of Pont-Echanfray.
Waleran (Galéran) (d. in prison 1126), made lord of Birecik in 1116 after its capture by Baldwin II.[2] Married the daughter of the previous lord, Abu'lgharib.
