EMMA, daughter of ---. A manuscript relating to St Werburgh´s Chester records that "Hugo Lupus filius ducis Britanniæ et nepos Gulielmi magni ex sorore" transformed the foundation into a monastery[735]. This suggests that Hugues´s mother may have been a uterine sister of King William, and therefore daughter of Herluin de Conteville. However, no indication has been in other primary sources which supports the contention that Hugues was the son of a duke of Brittany. It is assumed therefore that both lines of his parentage have been romanticised in this document to improve his status and reputation.
