Hugues Michel de Besançon (died 1332) was Bishop of Paris from 1326 until his death.[1]
Life
He was born in Besançon. He was a doctor of law and canon and cantor of Paris before being elected bishop in 1326.[2][3]
In 1326 Hugues and Guillaume de Laudun, Archbishop of Vienne, issued a pardon for the flemish[3][4]
In 1329 he supported John XXII in his opposition to Michael of Cesena and his views.[3][4]
In 1330 he came into conflict with the University of Paris. This is because Hugues fined a student for rape and the university objected that the bishop didn't have the right to meddle with university affairs, as he had sworn not to do so, thus making him a perjurer. John XXII favoured the bishop in the dispute and annulled the oath, while decreeing that the fined money be distributed to poor students.[2][3]
He died the 29th of July 1332.[2][3][4]
