found: New Catholic encyclopedia(Hugh of Flavigny; Benedictine monk and historian; b. about 1064, probably at Verdun (Lorraine); d. before the middle of the twelfth century; received his education at the monastery of St-Vannes at Verdun, where he afterwards took the habit of a Benedictine novice; in 1096 Hugh was elected Abbot of Flavigny but later abdicated due to disputes with his Bishop and his own monks; he wrote a chronicle of the world's history from the birth of Christ down to his own times (Chronicon Virdunense seu Flaviniacense) in two books: the first, which extends to the year 1002, a loosely planned compilation whose importance is entirely due to the fragments of older lost works which it contains; the second covers the years from 1002 to 1112 and is valuable especially for the history of Lorraine, and also for the ecclesiastical history of France)
