Hugo von Rouen (* around 690; † April 8, 730 in Jumièges ) is a saint of the Catholic Church . He was the second son of dux (Duke) Drogo († 708), the eldest brother of Karl Martell and a great-great-grandson of Arnulf von Metz . His ordination was between 713 and 715.
Live and act
After 719 he became Bishop of Lisieux , Bishop of Avranches , Abbot of Fontenelle , Abbot of Saint-Denis, after 720 he became Archbishop of Rouen and at the same time headed the dioceses of Paris and Bayeux , as well as the Abbeys of Fontenelle and Jumièges.
In the year 715 he is attested as sacerdos , priests, along with his siblings, his older brother, the dux Arnulf († after 723), and the two younger ones, Pippin and Gottfried . A little later he is Abbot of Jumièges on the lower reaches of the Seine , and finally after 719 Bishop of Paris , Bishop of Rouen and Bishop of Bayeux .
In the interplay of the Arnulfinger (later Carolingian ) assumption of power in the Franconian Empire , Hugo is the one who covers the ecclesiastical side.
