- Hugh Macduff, 2nd son of Gillemichael, Mormaer of Fife. Also known as Aed, Aeod, and Eoghin, Abbot of Abernethy.
Hugh was the 2nd son of Gillemichael (Gille Míchéil) who was Mormaer of Fife from 1130 to 1133. After the death of his father, Hugh's brother Duncan I succeeded as Mormaer, but it is believed Hugh (Aed) succeeded as Chief of Clan MacDuff (MacDhuibh).
Hugh also had a sister named Ete Macduff who married Gartnait, Mormaer of Buchan.
A charter of King William of Scotland (William the Lion) dated about 1165 confirms Hugh's parentage, and identifies him as the father of a son "Egii" stating "Egii filii Hugonis filii Gillemihel comitis de Fif" meaning "Egii, son of Hugh, son of Gillemiel, count of Fife"
Hugh held the hereditary title of Abbot of Abernethy, a title which later passed to his own son, Orm. Orm is identified also as Egii, Hugh II and Giles.
The name of Hugh's wife, the mother of Orm, is not known.
Hugh lived in the 12th century and is believed to have died by 1160.
He is identified by Sir Robert Douglas in his 'Peerage of Scotland' as the ancestor of the Earls of Wemyss.

Wikipedia Gille Micheil, father of Aed
Mormaer Gille Míchéil (d. bef. July 1136) is the second man known for certain to have been Mormaer of Fife from 1130 to 1133, although it is unlikely he actually was the second. He had at least one son, called Aed (=Hugh). Aed would have succeeded Donnchad I under a Celtic system, but as feudal rules of primogeniture came into force during the reign of Donnchad I, it was Donnchad's son, and not Gille Míchéil's, who became the next mormaer. Aed, though, probably succeeded to the leadership of Clann Duib, at least during Donnchad I's minority, and certainly became Abbot of Abernethy, an office which his own son, Orm, later inherited.

Abbots and lords of Abernethy - Wikipedia
The abbots of Abernethy were descendants of Gille Míchéil, Earl of Fife. The abbacy may have been held by Áed (called Hugo or Eggu and other Latinised forms), son of Gille Míchéil,[2] but the abbacy is first attested when Áed's son Orm is confirmed in possession of it by King William of Scotland in the 1170s, in condition for making concessions favorable to the King's new monastic establishment at Arbroath Abbey.[3] The title of Abbot disappears in the sources during the abbacy of Laurence, with the title of dominus predominating:
Orm de Abernethy (fl. 1170s)
Laurence de Abernethy (fl. 1190s)
Hugh de Abernethy (d. 1291)
Alexander de Abernethy (d. c. 1315)
Following the death of Alexander Abernethy, the title passed to his daughter Margaret who married John Stewart of Bonkyll, who assumed the title, as well as being granted the forfeited Earldom of Angus.

Scots Peerage Volume
WEMYSS, EAULS OF WEMYSS
"The family of Wemyss are said to de- scend from Hugh, the second son of Gille- michael. Earl of Fife. Charters show that Hugh had a son ' Egius,' or Hugh, who held the lands of Markinch. This second Hugh is said to have been the father of John of Methil, who was the undoubted ancestor of the family of Wemyss. But there is conclusive evidence that the father of John of Methil was not Hugh but a Michael of Methil, whose kin- ship with the Earls of Fife is not clearly proved. He may be identical with Michael the Clerk, who appears frequently as a witness to charters by the Earl of Fife and to others in which the Earl is witness between 1165 and 1204, and takes rank closely after the Earl. This Michael the Clerk had also a son John, but there is nothing to prove that they were the same as Michael and John of Methil."
