https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_I,_Count_of_Ponthieu
Hugh I of Ponthieu, died circa 1000. He was also known as Hugo Miles.

He was chosen by Hugh Capet, duke of France (not yet king), to be "advocate of the 
abbey of Saint-Riquier and castellan of Abbeville". He also received Hugh Capet's 
daughter, Gisela, in marriage.

Hugh's origins are unknown, and the date which he received his fief is only 
"ascertainable within broad limits" as c. 980. He is not known to have ever styled 
himself Count of Ponthieu.

Family[edit]

He married c. 994 Gisèle Capet, daughter of Hugh Capet and Adelaide of Aquitaine. 
His son Enguerrand I of Ponthieu was first to take the comital title after killing Arnold 
II of Boulogne in battle, sometime between 1024 and 1027, and marrying his widow. 
Thus, the counts of Ponthieu, who figure prominently in early Norman history, were 
even newer to their status as landed lords than the Normans. Guy of Ponthieu was 
also his son: Guy de Ponthieu, ascendant de Guyonne d'Abbeville.
