Hugo von Fleury
The beginning of the second edition of Hugo's Chronicle (Church History), here wrongly attributed to Bishop Ivo von Chartres , in the manuscript Vienna, Austrian National Library , Cod. 561, fol. 1v (first half of the 13th century)
Hugo von Fleury (Latin Hugo Floriacensis , also Hugo a Sancta Maria ; † after 1118) was a French Benedictine monk in the Fleury monastery and chronicler. Only his works are known of him:
- In 1109 he put together a church history in four volumes, which extended to the death of Charlemagne (814). The following year he published the same work in six volumes, after arranging the content better, adding remarks mainly of theological nature, leaving out a little and continuing it until the year 855. It appeared in print for the first time in 1638, edited by Bernhard Rottendorff in Münster , and receives a letter to Ivo von Chartres and a foreword to King Ludwig VI. from France.
- A book in which the deeds of the Frankish kings from 842 to 1108 are reported.
- A chronicle of the kings of France from Faramund , the legendary first king, to Philip I (1108). This and the next text were previously ascribed to Ivo von Chartres.
- An abridged chronicle of the kings of France , which he wrote for Louis VI. wrote is included in the Rottendorf edition.
- "De regia potestate et sacerdotali dignitate" for King Henry I of England and the Investiture Controversy , which he Hugo of Flavigny contradicts the view of Pope Gregory VII. Represents. Hugo von Fleury tries to settle the dispute and promotes views that were later incorporated into the Concordats .
- Reshaping a biography of the life of Sacerdos, Bishop of Limoges , by an unknown author.
- Continuation of a work De miraculis S. Benedicti Floriaci patratis .
Hugo de Fleury is often confused with another Hugo de Fleury who became Abbot of Canterbury and died in 1124.
