Hugh I of Ponthieu, who died c. 1000, was also known as Hugo Miles. However, some older genealogical works identify Hugh I as “Hugo Miles,” though no contemporary sources confirm this identification. [1]
He was selected by Hugh Capet, Duke of France (not yet king), as the "advocate of the abbey of Saint-Riquier and castellan of Abbeville".Template:Sfn Hugh also received Hugh Capet's daughter, Gisèle, in marriage.
Hugh's origins are unknown, and the date he received his fief is only ascertainable within broad limits as circa 980. Notably, he never styled himself as Count of Ponthieu.
