HUGH DE NONANT, an ecclesiastic who acted a prominent part in the political intrigues of the reign of Richard I., and who rendered himself remarkable for his bitter enmity to William de Longchamp, need only be mentioned as the author of a letter quoted by Roger de Hoveden and Radulph de Diceto, written in a rhetorical style, and giving an exulting account of the fall and banishment of that prelate. This letter is often found separately in manuscripts. Hugh de Nonant was made bishop of Lichfield in 1185, and died in Normandy in 1199.

RICHARD, an English abbot of the order of Prémontré, but of which house is not known, was the author of various theological treatises of no interest at the present day, some of which are preserved in the libraries of Oxford and Cambridge. He is said also to have been the author of a life of St. Ursula; and Bale ascribes to him a chronicle from 1064 to 1284, which must be a mistake, as he is said to have flourished in 1190,

A diligent search might, perhaps, add a few insignificant names to the foregoing list, such as JOHN OF TILBURY, who is supposed to have written some sermons; SAMSON abbot of Bury, who wrote, it is said, a collection of the miracles of St. Edmund, the patron saint of his house, &c. JOHN OF WALLINGFORD, abbot of St. Alban's, is described by Matthew Paris as a man of learning: but that historian does not ascribe to him any writings, and it is more than probable that the chronicle printed under his name by Gale, and other works which go under the same name, were the composition of a monkish writer who lived at a later period.
