Hugh Fraser, 1st Lord Lovat

Hugh Fraser, 1st Lord Lovat (d. c. 1500), was a Scottish peer, and the Chief of the Clan Fraser.

Fraser was the son of Thomas Fraser, 5th laird of Lovat, and Lady Janet Dunbar. His grandfather, Hugh Fraser (d. 1440) (who is sometimes referred to as "Lord Lovat"), was one of the hostages for the ransom of King James I of Scotland in 1424. He was summoned to the Scottish Parliament as Lord Lovat sometime between 1458 and 1461. He died circa 1500 and was succeeded by his son Thomas. Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat, known as "Simon the Fox", was a descendant of Lord Lovat.
