>* Hugh, bishop of Lincoln (1200)
>- Carthusian bishop, but not the only one; in pictures, he is
>portrayed with a swan, recalling his pet wild swan which guarded him
>so zealously that no one could 'approach the bishop without being
>attacked by it' (*Magna Vita*, by Adam of Eynsham, Hugh's chaplain)
He is also famous for having 'translated' part of the relic of Mary
Magdalen's arm to Lincoln by biting a chunk out of it and bringing it home
(according to Adam of Eynsham).
