Lincoln Cathedral[edit]

I'll do some work on this page in a couple of weeks; just to say that I will be taking out the statement that Lincoln cathedral is the first gothic building in the country, a claim which no building can really make, and certainly not Lincoln. It is, however, prodigiously advanced in its style and most fine.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.232.241.108 (talk • contribs) 15:11, 17 November 2007

Appointment as Bishop of Lincoln[edit]

This article follows the Catholic Encyclopedia in dating St. Hugh's :) appointment as Bishop of Lincoln to 1181 after a vacancy of 16 years. All other sources I have found state that he was appointed in 1186 after the cathedral was struck by lightning. The Wikipedia list of Bishops of Lincoln gives Geoffrey Plantagenet as bishop from 1173 to 1183 and Walter de Coutances from 1183 to 1184, and this is confirmed by other web sites and the 1973 Encylcopedia Britannica.

The article also does not mention his conflicts with Richard and John. For example, according to other sources he was on his way to protest to Richard about his oppression of the church when he heard of Richard's death. Dudleymiles 13:29, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've updated the appointment and consecration dates to follow The Handbook of British Chronology Ealdgyth | Talk 02:51, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

'English saint'[edit]

Linking to a category is always unpleasant, but it seemed much more on topic than just linking to English people and non-specific saint. Anyone have the time to start a list of English saints to match everyone else's? Just remember to exclude the ones from before 1066, since list of Anglo-Saxon saints has inexplicably already been done first. — $Llywelyn II$ 10:54, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

edit: Ok, so the Scots don't have their page either, yet. And the Americans and Australians do, but Canada's more modest (or less holy). — $Llywelyn II$ 10:56, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Neither an English nor French Holyman.[edit]

Seems to of been a Savoyard, Burgundian or somesuchlike, not French. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.155.40.85 (talk) 01:52, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Needs a Rewrite[edit]

I started editing this for grammar, pulled up short at the mention of a boarding school and soon found significant problems with the citations, starting with https://sthugh.org/, the website of a parish church, whose brief biography of St. Hugh mentions none of background it is supposed to justify.

Similarly, https://www.british-history.ac.uk/fasti-ecclesiae/1066-1300/vol3/pp1-5, is cited repeatedly, but contains only a few dates. Elsewhere on the same website, there is a substantial section on the Priory at Witham: https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/som/vol2/pp123-128#fnn58, which contains some very interesting information about St. Hugh and seems to have been overlooked when this piece was researched.

On the other hand there are large pieces of Hugh's story that are given without any citations or quotes.

The 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica is an outdated (and in this case, rather fulsome) source, frozen in time. The 2019 Encyclopedia Britannica just "updated and corrected" its entry on St. Hugh. Things change.Merry medievalist (talk) 18:03, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
