Hervé appears several times between 941 and 946 in the entourage of Hugh the Great and is likely Hervei Comiti Mauritianae cited in a transaction dated June 24, 955.
According to Settipani, Hervé was either the son or son-in-law of Hugh I, Count of Maine.
Hervé married Melisende (possibly a daughter of Hugh I). They had a number of children:
- Hervé II, Count of Mortagne-du-Perche
- Gerberge du Perche, married Gelduin of Saumur
- Hildegarde of Perche, married Hugh I, Viscount of Châteaudun.
Hervé I was succeeded either by his son Hervé II or Fulcois, the husband of his granddaughter Melissende.
