In 1077, Hugh convened a synod at Autun. From this council numerous bishops and archbishops were removed or suspended from office, notably Manasses, archbishop of Reims, who was suspended for simony.[1][2]
By the summer of 1100 Hugh had convened a synod at Anse, consisting of four archbishops and nine bishops, that circulated Pope Paschal II's crusading decree.[6] With papal permission, he joined the Crusade of 1101 in return for an appointment as legate of Asia,[6] while extracting a subsidy from his clergy.[7] Hugh reached Jerusalem, without traveling with any of the large crusading armies.[8]
