Hugh of Chalon (999-1039)

Hugh of Chalon (French: Hugues de Chalon; c. 975 – 4 November 1039) was a member of the House of Chalon. He was a Bishop of Auxerre and a Count of Chalon.

He was the only son of Lambert of Chalon and his wife Adela (Adelais, Adelaide), and was made a canon of the Cathédrale Saint-Lazare d'Autun.

After his father's death, he was proclaimed Bishop of Auxerre in 999 by request of Henry I, Duke of Burgundy. After the death of the latter, he abandoned Auxerre to defend his family county of Chalon in the war that ensued.

His successor was his maternal nephew, Count Theobald of Chalon, son of Hugh's sister Matilda (French: Mathilde).
