vided into two parts, under the title Chronicon Virdun* erne, a quibusdam dictum Flaviniacense (in Ph. Labbei Bibliotheca Nova, tom. i). The first part of this work, which closes with the 10th century, is trifling and erro- neous, but the second part contains much important in- formation on the ecclesiastical history of France in the 11th and 12th centuries — Hoefer, Nouv.

Hugo OF Frazan or Trasan, tenth abbe of Clug- "y (ci- v.), who flourished in the 12th century, became abbe in 1157 or 1158. Taking sides with the anti-pope Victor IV, he was excommunicated by pope Alexander III, and driven from the abbej'. He died after the year 1 166. Several works are attributed to him, but without good reason.— //m^ litt. de la France, xiii, 571 sq. ; Hoe- fer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, xxv, 442.
Hugo (St.) OF Grenoble was born at Chatcauneuf, in the Dauphiny, and became a priest at Valence. In 1080 he was appointed bishop of Grenoble, but he only accepted the position after considerable hesitancy, and even left the bishopric some time after, and retired to the abbey of Chaise-Dieu, in Clermont, as a Benedictine monk. By^order of pope Gregory VII, however, he re- turned again to Grenoble. He died there April 1, 1139. He was declared saint two years after by pope Innocent II. Hugo was a very pious man, and especially rigid in the enforcement of the vow of celibacy. During fifty- three years, spent in the active duties of his bishopric, it is said he never saw the face of a woman except that of one aged mendicant. See Recd-Encyldcp.f. d. Kathol.

Hugo OF Langres. See Berengarius.
Hugo OF Lincoln, was boni in 1140 at Gratianopo- lis. Burgundy, and was first a regular canon, and later a Carthusian monk. When Henry II founded the Car- thusian monastery at Witham, in Somersetshire, he in- vited Hugo to accept the priorship of this new foun- dation. After many entreaties bj' Reginal, bishop of Bath, Hugo consented. He was also made bishop of Lincoln by Henry II. He died in Nov. 1200, and was canonized at Kome in 1221. See Hoefer, A'oin-. Biogr.

Hugo, archbishop of Lyons, was bom about the mid- dle of the 11th century, and was one of the most distin- guished supporters of the Komish Church, in her efforts to exalt the papacy, during the last half of the 11th cen- tury, when Gregory VII and the emperor Henrj' were aiTayed against each other. He was the pa]ial legate (under pope Urban II) at the Council of Autun, A.D. 1094, who pronounced the ban on king Philip of France for the repudiation of his lawful wife Bertha. Hugo died Oct. 7, 1 106. His only works are his letters, which, according to the Hist. Lit. de la France (ix, p. 303), are very valuable to the historian of the 12th century. See Neander, Ch. Hist, iv, 123 ; Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Gen. xxv, 429 sq.
Hugo OF Macon, a French ecclesiastic, was bom about the close of the 11th century, and was educated by his cousin St. Bernard. He was appointed abbe of Pontigny, as the representative of Avhich he appeared in 1128 at the Council of Troyes. In August, 1136, he was elected bishop of Auxerre, and was consecrated the January following. He was an attendant at the Coim- cil of Sens, which condemned the doctrines of Abelard (q.v.) ; also in 1148 at the Council of Rheims, where he combated the opinions of Gilbert de la Porree. He stood high in the estimate of popes and princes. After his death, Oct. 10, 1151, the manner in which he dis- posed of the immense fortmies M'hich he had amassed by great avariciousness, and which, instead of being be- queathed for distribution among the poor of his diocese, were given to his nephew, greatly annoyed his friends, and his cousin, the pious St. Bernard, finally had the will

Hugo OF MoNCE.vu.v, a distinguished French di- vine, was bom in the early part of the ISth century. He was first monk at Yezelay, then abbe of St. Germain (11G2). He was consecrated by pope Alexander HI, April 21, 11G3. The pretensions of bishop Maurice, of Paris, to assist in the ceremony were energetically op- posed by Hugo, and this occasioned a controversy, of which a summary Avas published by Hugo. It forms a very interesting document of his time (printed in the collection of Andre Duchesne, vol. iv). In the same year (May 19) Hugo assisted at the Council of Tours, where he continued the controversy with Maurice, which was finally brought before the pope, who decided in favor of the monk. In 1165 (Aug. 22) Hugo was one of the ab- bes who presided at the baptism of the royal infant, later Philip Augustus. He was also about this time in- trusted with various ecclesiastical offices, and in 1179 he attended the Council of Latran. He died Mar. 27, 1182. — Iloefer, Nouv. Bingr. Ghierale, xxv, 446; Hist.
