About this book

Charles L. Marson presents a short biography of Hugh of Avalon, the saint who became Bishop of Lincoln in medieval England. Beginning with the world of monasteries, builders and scholars into which Hugh was born, the account follows his development from boyhood through religious life to the responsibilities of a bishop. Marson writes with open admiration for Hugh's character and connects his work to questions of learning, architecture and public duty.

A meeting with King Richard gives the book a particularly direct view of church and royal power. Hugh speaks to the king as a spiritual adviser, challenges the influence of money and favour in church appointments, and resists demands that he help collect royal funds. For readers interested in medieval religious history, these encounters show how personal conscience could shape political disputes. The narrative also offers a portrait of sainthood grounded in practical decisions and frank conversation.
