Hugh of Remiremont

Hugh of Remiremont

Hugh of Remiremont (?, probably in Lorraine, – c.1098) surnamed Candidus or Blancus (both meaning "the white"), was a Cardinal. [CathEncy|url=http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07521a.htm|title=Hugh of Remiremont]

He became a Benedictine at Remiremont Abbey, whence he was summoned to Rome by Pope Leo IX and created Cardinal-Priest of San Clemente in 1049.

After the death of Pope Nicholas II in 1061, he adhered to the antipope Cadalous, but submitted to Pope Alexander II, in 1067. A year later he was sent as papal legate to Spain.

On his way to Spain he presided over synods at Auch, Toulouse, Gerona, and Barcelona. In Spain he was successful in enforcing celibacy among priests and introducing the Roman in place of the Mozarabic liturgy, but being accused of simony he was recalled to Rome.

In 1072 he was sent as legate to France, where he again committed acts of simony. He succeeded, however, in exculpating himself before Alexander II and his successor Pope Gregory VII. He had wielded great influence upon the election of the latter and was sent by him as legate to France and Spain in 1073. On this embassy he committed new acts of simony, and in consequence was deposed by Gregory VII.

From this time on he was a bitter antagonist of Gregory VII. He took a prominent part in the anti-Gregorian synod of Worms in 1076 and synod of Brixen in 1080 and was repeatedly excommunicated by Gregory VII.

He was bishop of Palestrina in 1093 [ [http://www.fiu.edu/~mirandas/sub-sees.htm The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church - Suburbicarian Dioceses and Cardinal Patriarchs of Oriental Rite ] ] .
