HU'GO (Charles-Louis), a learned French writer, ca¬ 
non-regular of the order of Premontre, at the abbey of 
Jovilliers; and coadjutor of the abbot of Etival, in 1710. 
Afterwards he was appointed by the pope abbot'-of Fon¬ 
taine-Andre. In 1722 he quitted this abbey, and returned 
to that of Etival, to fucceed the abbot Godin. As he 
maintained- that his church was exempt from epifcopal 
jurifdiction, and dependent only on the holy fee, he be¬ 
came involved in contefts with the bifhop of Toul; and 
he gloried in'the perfeverance and fpirit with which he 
defended hinifelf, in Lorraifl and at Rome, orally and by 
writing, and in having been repeatedly profcribed and 
exiled, from 1725 to 1728, without -being fhaken by.the 
menaces of the great, or in the leaft degree facrificing his 
privileges. In the year laft mentioned the pope, by way 
of compenfating him for his fufferings, honoured him 
with the epifcopal character, by nominating him bilhop 
of Ptolemais. He died at his abbey in' 1739, in a very ad¬ 
vanced' age. He was the author of, 1. A Refutation of
