Hugh of VaucemainHugh or Hugues de Vaucemain. (died 1341) was a French Dominican, who became head of his order in 1333. He was a Burgundian., Spanish language.
His time as Master-General was marked by a conflict with Pope Benedict XII. Benedict, a Cistercian, was attempting a reform of the monastic orders. Hugh's position as the head of a mendicant order was apparently not against the reform as such, but derived from the feeling that the mendicants' position would then be threatened.Ashley/Dominicans: 3 Mystics 1300s
