Hugh de Puiset (sometimes Hugh du Puiset’ or Hugh Pudsey; c. 1125 – 3 March 1195) was a medieval Bishop of Durham and Chief Justiciar of England under King Richard I. He was the nephew of King Stephen of England and Henry of Blois who both assisted Hugh’s ecclesiastical career. He held the office of treasurer of York for a number of years which led him into conflict with Henry Murdac Archbishop of York.
