Everything about Hugh Tub Uf totally explained
Hugh Tubœuf or
Tudebusis () was a
Norman adventurer who went to
Southern Italy around
1030 in search of glory and riches.
Hugh took part in the
Sicilian expedition of
George Maniaches in
1038. He was one of the twelve leaders of the mercenaries of
Guaimar IV of Salerno who elected
William Iron Arm as count at
Melfi in September
1042 and received a twelfth of the conquered territory: the barony of
Monopoli.
Tubœuf is famous for an event which took place on the eve of the
Battle of Venosa in
1043. After receiving the envoys of the
Byzantine catepan of Italy,
Argyrus, himself a
Lombard turncoat who had abandoned the cause of the Lombards and their Norman troops, with offers of peace, Hugh began patting the horse of the chief ambassador on the neck and then punched it with such force as to knock it unconscious. The envoys were sent back with news of the terrible physical strength of their adversaries. The battle went to the Normans.
The date of Hugh's death is unknown.
