Biography
| Preceded by Hugh I |
Hugh II Count of Maine 950 - 922 |
Succeeded by Hugh III |
Hugh II (920-before 992), Count of Maine, son of Hugh I, Count of Maine, and an unknown mother, probably a daughter of Gauzlin II, Count of Maine. He was, like his father, a vassal of his uncle Hugh the Great.
After the death of Hugh the Great, Hugh II allied himself Fulk II the Good, Count of Anjou, and Theobald the Trickster, Count of Blois. Hugh later joined Theobald’s son Odo against Seinfroy, Bishop of Le Mans. Hugh and Odo had to flee and seek refuge with Bouchard I, Count of Vendôme, in the areas that form the Bas-Vendômois.
In 939 he fought alongside Alan II, Duke of Brittany and Judicael Berengar against the Vikings at the Battle of Trans-la-Forêt.[1] Hugh had by his unknown wife: Hugh III, Count of Maine[2], Fulk of Maine, (d. after 992) and Herbert “Baco” of Maine (d. after 1046), regent of Hugh IV, Count of Maine. Hugh was succeeded as Count of Maine by his son Hugh III.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is based in large part on a translation of the article fr:Hugues Ier du Maine from the French Wikipedia on 10 July 2012. Hugh I was count of Maine (900–933). He succeeded his father as of Count of Maine c. 900. By his unnamed wife, very probably a Rorgonide,[6] he had:
Hugh II, Count of Maine (d. bef. 991).[6]
SO WIKIPEDIA HAS NO SON NAMED BELLAY I, AND A PROFILE EXISTS FOR HUGH I Maine-47. I RECOMMEND FIRST DISCONNECTING BELLAY I AS SON AND THEN MERGING WITH Maine-47.
