Hugh Of Amiens
, also called Hugh Of Rouen, left
Amiens, his native place, and going to England was made
first, abbot of Roding, and afterwards bishop of Rouen,
1130, and died 1164. He has the character in his church
of being one of the greatest, most pious, and most learned
bishops of his age. He wrote three books for the instruction of his clergy, which are in the library of the fathers,
and P. d'Achery has printed them at the end of Guibert
de Nogent’s works. Some other pieces by Hugh may be
found in the collections by Martenne and Durand. 1
