In the spring of 1109, Hugh, worn out with years and labours, and feeling his end approaching, asked for the Last Sacraments, summoned around him his spiritual children, and, having given each the kiss of peace and dismissed them with the greeting: Benedicite. Then he asked to be conveyed to the Chapel of our Blessed Lady, he laid himself in sackcloth and ashes before her altar and there he breathed forth his soul to his Creator on the evening of Easter Monday (28 April).
