He married Matilda (Parentage unknown) in 1289 at Richards Castle, Herefordshire County, England.
They were the parents of at least two children
Joan who married Richard Talbot and Margaret who married who married Geoffrey de Cornwall.
He was summoned to parliament in 1297 and 1299. He seems to have been in financial difficulties in 1297, but these were eased by being excused scutage in March, and being granted a little more time to settle his inherited debts in April. His debts were still a matter of public record in 1299 and 1301.
In August 1297 he arranged jointure for his wife, when he enfeoffed a large part of his lands to the Bishop of Bath and Wells, and the bishop granted them back to Hugh and Matilda jointly.
He fought at the siege of Caerlaverock in 1300, at which time his arms were "Gules, two bars Vaire". He was on the king's service again in 1303.
Hugh died in about July 1304 , having apparently been poisoned by his wife, who survived him by less than four years.
