Hugues IV de Berzé

His last one was written to the troubadour Falquet de Romans, asking his friend to participate in the Crusade with him outra mar.

Hugues sent his poem with the jongleur Bernart d'Argentau, forming an important source of information about both poets.

His most famous Old French work is La Bible au seigneur de Barzil, a poem of 1,029 octosyllables preaching the reform of the Church.

La Bible exemplifies "the beliefs of a pious layman with a considerable breadth of worldly experience".

In the late sixteenth century, Hugues's Bible furnished much historical evidence for the antiquarian works of Claude Fauchet.
