the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

Hugh, Count of Vermandois (1057 – October 18, 1101), called the Great was the first count of Vermandois from the House of Capet. He is known primarily for taking part in the First Crusade. His nickname Magnus (greater or elder) is probably a bad translation into medieval Latin of an Old French nickname, le Maisné, meaning "the younger", referring to Hugh as younger brother of King Philip I of France.
