St. Hubertus, or Hubert, the patron saint of hunters, was a married courtier serving Pepin of Heristal, France, when while hunting one day he had a vision of a crucifix between the horns of a stag. He entered Stavelot Monastery, Belgium, and was ordained by St Lambert, later succeeding him as Bishop of Maastricht, Netherlands, in 705. He erected a shrine at Liège for St Lambert's relics, and became known for his miracles and the conversion of hundreds of followers. He died in 727.
