>* 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). %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
