Cilcar Hugh

Cilcar Hugh (1133-????) was a Count of Orenden and Ventome. He was a friend and companion of Stephen of Orenden, traveling in his company. He usually went by his middle name Hugh.

Name
Cilcar Hugh was named after his father, Cilcar V of Ventome, and Hugh, an Oalati knight who had saved his father's life in a previous war.

Life
In 1160, Cilcar V of Ventome died. Instead of being inherited by Cilcar Hugh's brother Andinar, however, the county was partitioned. Andinar became Count of Ventome and Cilcar Hugh became Count of Orenden. Both became influential advisors to Elbrin Witchbane, King of Zalemia. Thirty-eight years later, Andinar died without issue, and the county was reunited under Cilcar Hugh. Cilcar Hugh died in 1207.

Family
Cilcar Hugh named his son after his late friend Stephen. Stephen of Ventome inherited the County of Ventome on his father's death.
