=Hildebrand=, Pope Gregory VII. (1013, 1073-1085). He demanded for the Church the right of “investiture” or presentation to all ecclesiastical benefices, the superiority of the ecclesiastical to the temporal authority, enforced the celibacy of all clergymen, resisted simony, and greatly advanced the domination of the popes. We need another Hildebrand to shake And purify us. Longfellow, _The Golden Legend_ (1851). _Hil´debrand_ (_Meister_), the Nestor of German romance, a magician and champion. ⁂ Maugis, among the paladins of Charlemagne, sustained a similar twofold character. =Hil´debrod= (_Jacob_, _duke_), president of the Alsatian Club.—Sir W. Scott, _Fortunes of Nigel_ (time, James I.). =Hil´desheim=. The monk of Hildesheim, doubting how a thousand years with God could be “only one day,” listened to the melody of a bird in a green wood, as he supposed, for only three minutes, but found that he had in reality been listening to it for a hundred years. =Hill= (_Dr. John_), whose pseudonym was “Mrs. Glasse.” Garrick said of him: For physic and farces, His equal there scarce is. For his farces are physic, and his physic a farce is. =Hil´lary= (_Tom_), apprentice of Mr. Lawford, the town clerk. Afterwards Captain Hillary.—Sir W. Scott, _The Surgeon’s Daughter_ (time, George II.). =Hinch´up= (_Dame_), a peasant, at the execution of Meg Murdockson.—Sir W. Scott, _Heart of Midlothian_ (time, George II.). =Hin´da=, daughter of Al Hassan, the Arabian emir of Persia. Her lover, Hafed, a gheber or fire-worshipper, was the sworn enemy of the emir. Al Hassan sent Hinda away, but she was taken captive by Hafed’s party. Hafed, being betrayed to Al Hassan, burnt himself to death in the sacred fire, and Hinda cast herself headlong into the sea.—T. Moore, _Lalla Rookh_ (“The Fire-Worshippers,” 1817). =Hinzelmann=, the most famous house-spirit or kobold of German legend. He lived four years in the old castle of Hudemühlen, and then disappeared for ever (1588). =Hippol´ito=. So Browning spells the name of the son of Theseus (2 _syl._) and An´tiopê. Hippolito fled all intercourse with woman. Phædra, his mother-in-law, tried to seduce him, and when he resisted her solicitations, accused him to her husband of attempting to dishonor her. After death he was restored to life under the name of Virbius (_vir-bis_, “twice a man”). (See HIPPOLYTOS). Hippolito, a youth who never knew a woman. Browning. =Hippol´yta=, queen of the Am´azons, and daughter of Mars. She was famous for a girdle given her by the war-god, which Herculês had to obtain possession of as one of his twelve labors. ⁂ Shakespeare has introduced Hippolyta in his _Midsummer Night’s Dream_, and betroths her to Theseus (2 _syl._) duke of Athens; but according to classic fable, it was her sister An´tiopê (4 _syl._) who married Theseus.
