The Life of St. Hugh of Avalon, Bishop of Lincoln: With Some Account of His Predecessors in the See of Lincoln is a biographical work by George Gresley Perry, published in 1879. The book tells the story of St. Hugh of Avalon, a medieval bishop who lived in the 12th century and played an important role in the religious and political history of England.The book begins with a brief overview of the history of the See of Lincoln, one of the most important bishoprics in England during the Middle Ages. It then focuses on the life of St. Hugh, who was born in France in 1135 and became a monk at the age of 15. St. Hugh eventually became the bishop of Lincoln in 1186 and served in that position until his death in 1200.Throughout the book, Perry provides a detailed account of St. Hugh's life, including his early years as a monk, his work as a bishop, and his many accomplishments. These include his efforts to reform the church, his support for the poor and the sick, and his role in negotiating peace between the king of England and the pope.In addition to St. Hugh's life, the book also provides information about his predecessors in the See of Lincoln, including St. Remigius, Bishop Robert Bloet, and Bishop Alexander.Overall, The Life of St. Hugh of Avalon, Bishop of Lincoln is a comprehensive and informative biography of a significant figure in English history.
