Everything about Hugh Of Jabala totally explainedHugh of Jabala was the bishop of the Syrian town of Jabala during the 12th century. When the County of Edessa fell to Zengi in 1144, Raymond, prince of Antioch, sent Hugh to report the news to Pope Eugene III. Eugene issued the papal bull Quantum praedecessores the following year calling for the Second Crusade.
Hugh also told the historian Otto of Freising about Prester John, the mythical Nestorian Christian priest-king of India, who was intending to help the Crusader States against the Saracens. Otto included the story in his Chronicon of 1145 (External Link ); it's the first recorded mention of the Prester John legend.
