About Hugh of Champlitte
Lived 1150 – 1209 (aged 58–59). Hugh of Champlitte was a crusader.
Hugh of Champlitte (died 1209) was the nephew of William of Champlitte, the first Prince of Achaea.
Hugh and his uncle traveled with the Fourth Crusade and were at the conquest of Constantinople in 1204. They arrived in the Peloponnesus in 1205. Hugh assisted his uncle in the conquest of Corinth and surrounding regions.
In 1208, William was recalled to Burgundy by news of the death of his elder brother, in order to claim the inheritance.

Hugh was succeeded in Achaea (Morea) by Geoffrey I of Villehardouin.
