HUGUES d'Ivry, son of RAOUL d´Ivry Comte [de Bayeux] & his wife Aubrée [de Caville/Cacheville] (-Oct 1049). Guillaume of Jumièges records that “Rodulphum” married “Erembergam...natam in quadam villa Calcini territorii...Cavilla” and that they had “duos filios Hugonem postea episcopum Baiocensem et Ioannem Abricatensem...”[1043]. Seigneur d'Ivry. Bishop of Bayeux 1015. Guillaume of Jumièges records that “Hugo Rodulfi comitis filius, Baiocasinæ urbis præsul” secretly stocked “Ibrilicum castrum” and sought help from France to defend it, but was unable to re-enter the castle besieged by Robert II Duke of Normandy and left in exile[1044]. Orderic Vitalis records that “Albereda uxor Radulfi Bajocensis comitis” built “arcem de Ibreio” [Ivry] which “Hugo Bajocensis episcopus frater Johannis Rotomagensis archiepiscopi” defended “contra duces Normannorum multo tempore”[1045].
[m ---. The name of Hugues´s possible wife or mistress is not known.]
Hugues & his [wife/mistress] had [two] [illegitimate] children. No direct proof has been found that Hugues Bishop of Bayeux was the father of Roger (Orderic Vitalis confirms that he was the father of Albreda, see below). The other candidate is Hugues Bishop of Lisieux, son of Guillaume de Normandie Comte d´Eu and his wife Lesceline. However, the chronology of the two families suggests that Hugues Bishop of Lisieux must have been born in [1010/20], while the birth of Hugues Bishop of Bayeux must be placed much earlier considering that his father´s birth can probably be estimated to [942/50] (see above). The charter of Saint-Trinité de Rouen dated 1074 shows that the bishop´s grandson was old enough to have sold property before 1074, which could place his birth in [1040/50]. This birth date range is more consistent with the older of the two bishops being his grandfather, although it would not exclude descent from Hugues Bishop of Lisieux. In addition, the family of Hugues Bishop of Bayeux has more connections with the pays de Caux, the location of all the properties referred to in the three charters of Sainte-Trinité de Rouen in which the bishop´s son is named. The bishop of Bayeux´s mother is recorded as having constructed the castle of Ivry, and his sister Emma, wife of Osbern de Crepon dapifer, is named in several charters of Sainte-Trinité de Rouen in connection with property in the pays de Caux.
