Hugo V, Count of Montfort-Bregenz

Hugo V was Count of Montfort-Bregenz, the son of Count Ulrich I, who died in 1287. He began ruling Bregenz in 1294 and acquired the Bregenzerwald as a pledge in 1307. In 1311 he bought Staufen Castle in the Upper Allgäu and founded its collegiate chapter.

He secured a market privilege for Bregenz in 1330. When he died on 26 July 1338, the Montfort-Bregenz line became extinct, and the Bregenz lands were divided among the surviving branches of the Montfort counts.
