Hugh II of Ponthieu (died 1052), was count of Ponthieu from 1045 to 1052 and Lord of Aumale. He was the son of Enguerrand I, count of Ponthieu.
Around 1020, he married Bertha, daughter and heiress of Guerimfred, Lord of Aumale. From this marriage were born:
Enguerrand II (died 1052), count of Ponthieu and Lord of Aumale.
Guy I († 1100), count of Ponthieu.
Hughes, participating in the battle of Hastings.
another son, cited by the Chronicle of Saint-Riquier, who could be named Waleran , killed at the battle of Mortemer in 1054.
daughter, married to William of Normandy, count of Arques.
He succeeded his father to 1045 and follows the policy of alliance with Normandy initiated by his father. He married his daughter with William of Arques, son of Duke Richard II of Normandy and his son Enguerrand with a sister of Duke William. These alliances are reinforcing with those concluded between the houses of Normandy and Flanders.
But the Count did not profit long in his policy, because he was killed a few years later, on November 20, 1052, and buried at the Abbey of Saint-Riquier.
