One would think, had it been possible, that Shakespeare, when he made King John excuse his intentions of perpetrating the death of Arthur by his comment on Hubert’s face, by which he saw the assassin in his mind, had Sanford in idea, for he was rather deformed, and had a most forbidding countenance.—C. Dibdin, _History of the Stage_. _Hubert_, an honest lord, in love with Jac´ulin, daughter of Gerrard, king of the beggars.—Beaumont and Fletcher, _The Beggar’s Bush_ (1622). _Hubert_, brother of Prince Oswald, severely wounded by Count Hurgonel, in the combat provoked by Oswald, against Gondibert, his rival for the love of Rhodalind, the heiress of Aribert, king of Lombardy.—Sir W. Davenant, _Gondibert_ (died 1568). _Hubert_, an archer in the service of Sir Philip de Malvoisin.—Sir W. Scott, _Ivanhoe_ (time, Richard I.). _Hubert (St)_, patron saint of huntsmen. He was son of Bertrand, duc d’Acquitaine, and cousin of King Pepin. =Huddibras= (_Sir_), a man “more huge in strength than wise in works,” the suitor of Perissa (_extravagance_).—Spenser, _Faëry Queen_, ii. 2 (1590). =Hudibras=, the hero and title of a rhyming political satire, by S. Butler. Sir Hudibras is a Presbyterian justice in the Commonwealth, who sets out with his squire, Ralph (an independent), to reform abuses, and enforce the observance of the laws for the suppression of popular sports and amusements (1663, 1664, 1678). =Hudjadge=, a shah of Persia, suffered much from sleeplessness, and commanded Fitead, his porter and gardener, to tell him tales to while away the weary hours. Fitead declared himself wholly unable to comply with this request. “Then find some one who can,” said Hudjadge, “or suffer death for disobedience.” On reaching home, greatly dejected, he told his only daughter, Moradbak, who was motherless, and only 14 years old, the shah’s command, and she undertook the task. She told the shah the stories called _The Oriental Tales_, which not only amused him, but cured him, and he married her.—Comte de Caylus, _Oriental Tales_ (1743). =Hudson= (_Sir Geoffrey_), the famous dwarf, formerly page to Queen Henrietta Maria. Sir Geoffrey tells Julian Peveril how the late queen had him enclosed in a pie and brought to table. Sir W. Scott, _Peveril of the Peak_ (time, Charles II.). ⁂ Vandyke has immortalized Sir Geoffrey by his brush; and some of his clothes are said to be preserved in Sir Hans Sloane’s museum. _Hudson_ (_Tam_), gamekeeper.—Sir W. Scott, _Guy Mannering_ (time, George II.). =Hugh=, blacksmith at Ringleburn; a friend of Hobbie Elliott, the Heughfoot farmer.—Sir W. Scott, _The Black Dwarf_ (time, Anne). _Hugh_, servant at the Maypole Inn. This giant in stature and ringleader in the “No Popery riots,” was a natural son of Sir John Chester and a gypsy. He loved Dolly Varden, and was very kind to Barnaby Rudge, the half-witted lad. Hugh was executed for his participation in the “Gordon riots.”—C. Dickens, _Barnaby Rudge_ (1841).
