Hugh of Beaulieu (died 1223) was a medieval English Bishop of Carlisle.
Life[edit]
Hugh was the first abbot of the Cistercian Beaulieu Abbey, which had originally been located at Faringdon in Berkshire (now Oxfordshire), before he was selected for the see of Carlisle.[1] In 1214 and 1216, Hugh was censured by the Chapter General of the Cistercian Order for the ostentation of his lifestyle.[2] He was accused of eating off silver plate, keeping a guard dog in his bedroom with a silver chain, and of too much revelry with earls and knights.[3] While abbot, he attended the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215.[4] He had been deposed as abbot before he was chosen as bishop,[5] at some point shortly before 1218.[3] He was elected about 1 August 1218, and consecrated on 24 February 1219.[6] He was not the choice of the cathedral chapter of Carlisle, and his election was forced on them.[7] He died on 4 June 1223.[6]
