EXPLICIT

Interfluxit autem spatium temporis a prima usque ad secundam translationem annorum circiter septuaginta quinque, regnante Domino nostro Jesu Christo et pollicente suis se usque ad consummationem seculi adfuturum fidelibus, eorumque agonibus misericorditer opitulante, triumphosque feliciter atque ineffabiliter remunerante: qui vivit cum Deo Patre et regnat in unitate Spiritus sancti per infinita secula seculorum. Amen. — Explicit translatio sancti Hugberti ad locum Andainum.

Jonas Aurelianensis, Jonas d'Orléans

Sex: M- Bio: Jonas was born before 780 in Aquitaine and died in 843. He was appointed bishop of Orléans in 818 under Louis the Pious and retained that position until his death. He was present at the synod of Paris in 825. Jonas was an important author who wrote influential works such as ‘De institutione laicali’ and ‘De institutione regia’ in which he formulated progressive ideas about the independence of the Church and the moral responsibilities of laymen.

CONTEXT

ABSTRACT

Description of the translation of the relics of Saint Hubert around 825. Consequently, the works contains valuable information about the origins of the community of Andage and about the monks of the convent during the episopacy of Walcaud of Liège. Hubert (+727) succeeded Saint Lambert as bishop of Maastricht in 703/705. In 717 he chose Liège as a new episcopal residence and he had the relics of his predecessor relocated to that city. Soon afther his death, the cult of Saint Hubert began with the elevation of his relics in the eight century and gained popularity during the ninth and tenth centuries, as a consequence of the translation of his relics to the abbey of Andage (which was renamed Saint-Hubert). It is during this period that Saint Hubert became increasingly attached to the hunt, resulting in representing him as the patron saint of the hunters.
