HUGUES [II] du Maine, son of [DAVID/HUGUES [Comte] du Maine & his wife E---] ([930/40]-before Dec 992). It is clear from the dates of the documents in which Hugues [II] is named that he must have been a different person from Hugues [I]. The parentage of Hugues [II] is not known with certainty. A series of documents names "David" as his father, for example "Hugo, David filius, comes Cenomannorum" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Pierre-de-la-Cour du Mans for the soul of "meique genitoris David et genitricis mee E" by charter dated to [971/997], subscribed by "Hugo filius meus"[72]. The arguments for and against the existence of this person are set out above. If David did not exist, it is likely that Comte Hugues [II] was either the son of Comte Hugues [I] or of another otherwise unidentified Comte Hugues, as explained above. He succeeded as Comte du Maine. "Hugonis ducis, filiorum eius Othonis et Hugonis, Odonis comitis, Hugonis comitis Cenomannorum, Hervei comitis Mauritaniæ, Lamberti vicecomitis" subscribed the charter dated 25 Jun 954 under which "Lambertus filius Ansberti cum Girberga sorore mea…" donated property "in territorio Corbonensi" to Chartres Saint-Père[73]. "Teutbaldi comitis, Teutbaldi junioris, Gausfredi comitis, Hugonis comitis Cenomannorum…" subscribed the charter dated Sep 960 under which "Aremburgis" donated property to Saint-Florent de Saumur[74]. "Hugonis comitis Cenomannorum" in these two documents could either refer to Hugues [I], Hugues [II] or the otherwise unidentified Comte Hugues. The Actus pontificum Cenomannis names "Hugonem, Cenomanensium comitem" during the bishopric of "Segenfridi" (from 971 to 997)[75]. "Sigefredus Cinnomannicæ….episcopus" donated property to Tours-Saint-Julien, with the consent of "senioris nostri Hugonis…ac filiorum eiusdem…Hugonis et Fulchonis", by charter dated Feb 971[76]. "Hugo comes Cenomannus cum filiis meis ac filiabus" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Pierre-de-la-Cour du Mans by charter dated to [971/997], subscribed by "Hugonis filii eius"[77]. The date of his death is set by the charter dated Dec 992 under which Guillaume Comte de Poitou and his wife Emma donated property to Saint-Maixent held by "Fulcho frater Hugonis comitis Cinnomanensis"[78], showing that the brothers' father was deceased at the time.

m ---. The name of Hugues's wife is not known.

Hugues [II] & his wife had [five or more] children

Hugues II, né vers 920-5, mort avant 992, fut comte du Maine au Xe siècle, de la famille des Hugonides. Il était fils d'Hugues Ier, comte du Maine, et probablement d'une fille de Gauzlin II, comte du Maine.

Il devint comte du Maine à la mort de son père, survenue entre 939 et 955 et fut, comme son père, l'un des premiers vassaux de son oncle Hugues le Grand. Ce dernier mourut en 956, laissant un fils mineur, le futur Hugues Capet, et Hugues II profita pour s'émanciper de cette suzeraineté, à l'instar de Foulque II le Bon, comte d'Anjou, et de Thibaut le tricheur, comte de Blois.

Par la suite, il s'alliera au fils de Thibaut le tricheur, Eudes Ier, dans une coalition contre le capétien. Sigefroy, évêque du Mans, fidèle à Hugues Capet devra fuir la ville et se réfugier auprès du comte de Vendôme Bouchard Ier le Vénérable à qui il donnera des domaines qui formeront le Bas-Vendômois. Encore en vie vers 980, il meurt avant 992.

Son épouse n'est pas connue. Le prénom de son troisième fils indique une parenté probable de cette épouse avec la maison du Vermandois.
