HUGO OF FLEURY (HUGO DE SANCTA MARIA): Historian; d. not before 1118. He first appears as an inmate of the abbey of St. Benedict at Fleury (Saint-Benott_sur-Loire, 20 m. ex.e. of Orléans), in the diocese of Orl(=ans, a famous home of scholarship and learning. Hugo composed the following historical works: (1) Historic ecclesiastica, extant in two editions; the first, in four books, comes down to the death of Charlemagne, and was produced in 1109 ; after Hugo had become acquainted with the Chronographia tripertita of Anastasius Bibliothecarius, he undertook a revised edition, and brought the narrative down to 855; this new edition came out in 1110, and contains six books (in MPL, elxiii. 821,854). (2) Liber qui modernorum regum Francorttm continet adus comprises the time from Charles the Bald (892) to the death of King Philip (1108; MPL, clxiii. 873-912). (3) Historsa Frarh corum brevis, from Lothair, son of Louis the Pious, to 1108 (MPL, clxii. 611-616). Of greater interest than these historical writings, only the second of which has value as a sour, is the treatise dedicated to Henry I. of England, Tractatua de regia potestate et aacerdotali dignitate (MGH, Lib. de lite, ii., 1892, pp. 466-494). The author advocates that the spiritual and the temporal powers shall take joint part in the government of the world, and let both work together peaceably (cf. C. Mirbt, Die Publizistik im Zeitalter Gregors VII., pp. 514-515; Leipsic, 1894). By his Vita S. Sacerdotis episcopi Lemovicensis (d. 530; ASB, May, ii.14-22, MPL, clxiii. 979-1004), and the continuation of the miracles wrought at Fleury by St. Benedict (Les Miracles de Saint Benoit, ed. E. de Certain, Paris, 1858, pp. 357 sqq.) Hugo contributed his portion to aseetic literature. He is reported also to have composed a commentareus super Psalterium.
