BIOGRAPHY
Hugues was born about 780, possibly a son of Haicho of the house of the Etichonen, which claimed descent from the Merovingian kings and rose to dominate the region of Alsace in the Early Middle Ages from the seventh to the tenth centuries. He was the count of Tours and Sens during the reigns of Charlemagne and his son Louis 'the Pious', until Hugues' disgrace in February 828. By his wife Ada he had two daughters, Irmgard and Aelis, who would have progeny.

Hugues had many possessions in Alsace, including Sens. He also held the convent of Saint-Julien-d'Auxerre. He appeared in 811 as an envoy to Constantinople with Haido, bishop of Basel, and Aio, duke of Friuli, to renew the _Pax Nicephori._ In 821 he allied himself by marriage to the royal family; his daughter Irmgard married Louis' son Lothar. In 824 he took part in an expedition in Brittany, and in 826 he accompanied the Empress Judith to the baptism of Harald 'Klak' Halfdansson in Ingelheim. His other daughter Aelis married first Konrad I, Graf in Argengau und Linzgau, then Rutpert IV, Graf in Wormsgau.

In 827 Hugues, along with Matfrid of Orléans was commissioned by Emperor Louis 'the Pious' to recruit an army with his son Pippin I, king of Aquitaine, and repel the invasion of the _Marca Hispanica_ by the Moslem general Abu Marvan. Hugues and Matfrid delayed until the threat had passed. For this he was given the nickname 'Timidus' (the Timid). Barcelona being the greatest military accomplishment of Louis' career, the Spanish March meant much to him and Hugues and Matfried found themselves greatly disfavoured at court. They were deposed in February of the next year.

Nevertheless Hugues remained very influential as the father-in-law of Lothar. He joined Matfrid in inciting Lothar to rebellion, and in consequence he had all his lands in Gaul confiscated. He remained highly influential in Italy, where Lothar created him 'duke of Locate' _(dux de Locate)._

Hugues died on 4 November 839.
