Hugh II, Count of Ponthieu
Hugh II of Ponthieu was count of Ponthieu and lord of Abbeville, the son of Enguerrand I of Ponthieu.[1] Evidently Hugh II was the half brother of Guy, who became the bishop of Amiens; Fulk, who became the abbot of Forest l'Abbaye; and Robert. However, it is possible that both Robert and Hugh II were the sons of Enguerrand's first wife, and Guy and Fulk the sons of a later wife that Enguerrand I married when he was in his forties.
Hugh II was married to Bertha of Aumale, Countess of Aumale.[1] They had:
- Enguerrand II who succeeded Hugh II as Count of Ponthieu[1]
- Robert
- Hugh [lower-alpha 1]
- Waleran
- a daughter who was married to William of Talou, the count of Arques
