Hugh or Hugh of Beaulieu was a medieval Bishop of Carlisle.
[edit] Life
He was the abbot of the Cistercian Beaulieu Abbey 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 August 1, 1218, and consecrated on February 24, 1219.[6] He was not the choice of the chapter of Carlisle, and his election was forced on them.[7] He died on June 4, 1223.[6]
