Hugh of Poitiers

Hugh of Poitiers^[1] (died 1167) was a Benedictine monk of Vézelay Abbey and chronicler.

His Historia Vizeliacensis monasterii was written from about 1140 to 1160.^[2] Besides being a rather partisan account of the affairs of the Abbey, it is an important source for the history of France in its period. ^{[citation needed]} It was written for Abbot Ponce of Vézelay (1138–1161), who was brother to Peter the Venerable of Cluny Abbey.^[3]

He also wrote the Origo et historia brevis Nivernensium comitum, about the county of Nevers.^[4]^[5]
