| Title: | A «Frenchman» in Portugal: Bishop D. Hugo of Porto and the transformations of the north-western Iberian Peninsula in the early 12th century |
| Issue Date: | 2023 |
| Abstract: | The aim of this article is to study Bishop of Porto D. Hugo, a key figure to understand the transformation of Portugal in the 12th century. Probably ailing from France, he was archdeacon in Compostela under Diego Gelmírez and consecrated bishop by Maurice of Braga. D. Hugo dealt with the most important problems of his time: the conflict between the See of Compostela and Braga, the political evolution of the County of Portugal and the relations with the Papacy. The study of D. Hugo reveals a very peculiar image of a medieval bishop: clergyman, politician, writer and tireless traveller. |

De provável origem franca, foi arcediago em Compostela sob o governo de Diego Gelmírez e bispo do Porto consagrado por Maurício de Braga, D. Hugo lidou com os problemas mais importantes do seu tempo: o conflito entre a Sé de Compostela e Braga, a evolução política do Condado Portucalense e as relações com o Papado. O estudo da figura de D. Hugo revela uma imagem muito peculiar deste bispo medieval: clérigo, político, escritor e viajante incansável. |
