The Dupuys of France ,vere the Del Poggios, from Lucca, 1 and Lucchese. 2 In Avenione, in Paris, and in other parts of France, are living the Del Poggios, called there Dupuy, who, not to lose their Italian privileges, claim to swear allegiance through their attorneys, since they held fiefs and lord ships in Tuscany. Several papers still extant certify that the Del Poggios were dukes and marquises as far back as the roth century. A Poggio was Bishop of St. Miniato in A.D. 1038. [n Latin the name was de Po<lio. 3 Raphael de Podio was the father of Hughes Dupuy, who founded the Abbey D'Arguebelle, order of St. Bernard, in the diocese of St. Paul, in the eleventh century. It is quite significant that the chief of the battalion of the forty-eighth French Regiment of the line, who is the author of several military works of note in the nineteenth century, is named de Poclio Dupuy. This seems to confirm the suggestion that de Podio is likely to have been a family surname. \Vhether the name was de Podio, Del Poggio, or Dupuy, each represents a word of the same meaning in its cliff erent language. Hughes Dupuy, son of Raphael de Podio ( called also Guigues or Guelfes, Wido and Wilfo), married a daughter of Edward de Poisieu and was the father of four children, the youngest of whom was Raymond Dupuy, who will always be remembered as the most illustrious Grand Master of the " Order of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem." Hughes Dupuy took up the cross in 1096, and enibarked for Palestine with his wife and four children. He was one of the principal captains of the Crusaders with Godefroy de Bouillon, and is mentioned by Albert D'Aix for his many exploits and deeds of bravery. His arms are still preserved among the relics and curiosities in the " Museum of the Crusades " in the Palace of Versailles. For his services he was granted " Souvcrainete la ville d' Acre." 4 1 " History of the Knights of Jerusalem," by John Taaffe, London, p. 269. • "Juramentum Fidelitatis" of !33I, which is still extant in Lucca Archives. • Guy Allard's "Genealogical History of France,'' 1682. '" Nouvelie Biographie Generale." A GENEALOGICAL HISTORY However distinguished may have been the early members of the family, history universally acknowledges that Raymond Dupuy added to it imperish able laurels, which will remain fresh and green so long as history survives. We will pass over, for the present, the other sons of Hughes Dupuy, who won honorable names as soldiers before the walls of Jerusalem. Their lives were overshadowed by the splendor
