Hugh of Toulouse

Hugh of Toulouse

Hugh (died probably 978) was probably the Count of Toulouse, Nîmes, Quercy, and Albi from 961 to his death or sometime before. He was the son of Raymond III of Toulouse and probably grandson of Raymond Pons.

His story is confusing and identification of the various persons named Hugh who appear to have been the same is disputed. The "Codex of Roda" mentions him (992) as "Ucus episcopus" or "Bishop Hugh" and informs that he died on the hunt. His diocese is unknown. In the 961 testament of Raymond II of Rouergue, he is referred to as a nephew. In the codicil testament of his grandmother Garsenda, he is "Ugoni comite nepoti meo", or "Count Hugh, my grandson." It is unknown why Hugh, the younger son, is named before his supposed elder brother Raymond or why he is given the comital title when Raymond is not and he nowhere else appears with it. The question of when he went from being count to bishop is also unanswered.
