- This article is about the boy known as Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln, who was allegedly murdered in 1255. For information about the adult saint, see Hugh of Lincoln.
Hugh of Lincoln (1247 - August, 1255) was an English boy, whose disappearance prompted a blood libel with ramifications that reach until today. Hugh is known as Little Saint Hugh to distinguish him from Saint Hugh, a bishop of Lincoln. The style is often corrupted to Little Sir Hugh. The boy disappeared on July 31, and his body was discovered in a well on August 29.
