  JewishEncyclopedia.com - AUBRIOT, HUGUES:
Aubriot earnestly pleaded the cause of the Jews before the king, and through his influence succeeded in obtaining a royal decree, ordering the restoration of the children to their mothers and the restitution of all property taken from the Jews.
For thus championing the cause of the Jews, Aubriot incurred the hostility of the Church, which denounced him as being secretly a Jew, and accused him of various crimes, including that of immorality with Jewesses (J. des Ursins, l.c.
Aubriot was finally compelled to do penance and was condemned to perpetual imprisonment on bread and water.

 Paris - The Beautiful
The once magnificent mansion of Hugues Aubriot which, under Charles V was a notable social centre, is here occupied by venders of milk and provisions, old chairs, broken kitchen furnishings which have apparently seen their best days, and the rags of utter squalor.
Hugues Aubriot was made Provost of Paris under Charles V, and this building, then known as the provost's palace, was noted for the tower and spiral staircase, which is the only part now remaining intact.
The Conciergerie and the Tour de l'Horloge are the survival of the mediæval palace built by Hugues Capet, 'to which the more modern structures have been, from time to time, added.

—Hugues Aubriot who superintended the construction of the bastille, was the first prisoner to enter its walls; but political considerations had nothing to do with his incarceration.

 Interesting Thing of the Day: Paris Sewers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Precursors of the current sewage system date back as far as 1200, when the streets were first paved; a drainage channel down the middle reduced pedestrians’ exposure to wastes.
In 1370, Hugues Aubriot built a 300-meter stone-walled sewer under rue Montmartre, and in the late 1600s Louis XIV undertook additional sewer construction in certain areas.
In the early 1800s, Napoleon ordered the construction of a network of sewer tunnels totaling 19 miles (30km.) But as the population of the city continued to swell, the primitive sewage systems could not keep up with it, and the Seine—still used for both intake and disposal—became absurdly polluted.

 PERITIA: JOURNAL OF THE MEDIEVAL ACADEMY OF IRELAND: abstracts
More representative is that of Hugues Aubriot, prevot of Paris (1367-81).
As prevot he had trespassed on university jurisdiction, and when matters came violently to a head in 1381-only then-the university checkmated Aubriot by a trial for heresy.
Medieval heresy and the Inquisition should be treated as two subjects, not one: their fortunes obey different sets of impulses, and in those governing the Inquisition, at least, politics play a big part.
