Biography
Hugh II (French, Hugues) (died 1130) was the count of St. Pol in Artois. He participated in the First Crusade (1096–99) with his son Enguerrand, where they both won fame as military leaders. Being vassals of Eustace III of Boulogne, they probably travelled east in his company, among the retinue of Godfrey of Bouillon.
Hugh and Enguerrand participated in the Siege of Antioch in 1098, where they were central in raiding the Turkish forces. Hugues is last mentioned in the east during the Siege of Jerusalem in 1099.
Hugh's children from his first marriage were:
- Enguerrand died of disease after the capture of Ma'arrat al-Numan around Christmas 1098.
- Hugues III, succeeded his father as Count.
Hugh then married Marguerite of Clermont, daughter of Renaud II, Count of Clermont. They had two sons.
