Summary: "Hugh, Bishop of Lincoln" by Charles L. Marson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the life and contributions of St. Hugh of Avalon, who played a pivotal role in medieval England, particularly as a bishop. The narrative likely covers his journey from humble beginnings to his influential position within the Church, highlighting his spiritual, political, and architectural impacts on society during a tumultuous period marked by reform and conflict. The opening of the book introduces St. Hugh's early life and the context of his time in 12th-century France, explaining his noble lineage and the influence of his pious mother. As a child, Hugh exhibited a strong inclination towards holiness and education, nurtured through the teachings he received at a local priory. The author paints a picture of a determined young man who wrestles with his aspirations towards the monastic life while experiencing the complexities of human desire, as seen through an early romantic temptation. This initial chapter sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Hugh's character development amid the larger historical backdrop, which promises insights into both his personal struggles and his significant achievements in shaping the Church and governance in England.
