His sister Emma, who married Osbern de Crépon, sénéchal of Normandy, became (after her husbands death) abbesse of Saint-Amand de Rouen. His half-brother was Jean, Bishop of Avranches then Archbishop of Rouen. He became bishop in 1015. According to Orderic Vitalis, Hugh held the Chateau of Ivry against the Dukes of Normandy and revolted against Robert the Magnificent. However, Robert seized the chateau, which stayed in royal hands until the end of the reign of William the Conqueror. After many years in exile, Hugh returned to good grace in November 1032 and founded the Abbey of Cerisy.
