Hugh de Balliol (died 1229) was the oldest son and successor of Eustace de Balliol (before 1190 Eustace de Helicourt). Hugh probably succeeded to his father Eustace's lordships by 1209.
Hugh and his brother Bernard were staunch supporters of King John; Hugh probably named his son after the king. After Hugh's death in 1229, his son John I de Balliol succeeded to the chief Balliol estates.
Famous quotes containing the word hugh:
“There one that ruffled in a manly pose
For all his timid heart, there that slow man,
That meditative man, John Synge, and those
Impetuous men, Shawe-Taylor and Hugh Lane,
Found pride established in humility,
A scene well set and excellent company.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
