### [Canto XX: Hugh Capet and the Earthquake](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_divine_comedy_se/chapters/canto-xx)

Not present; the spirit is Hugh Capet, not Hugh of St. Victor. Correcting: the spirit is Hugh Capet, a historical figure, but not in the canonical list. Using 'hugh_of_st_victor' is incorrect. Since Hugh Capet is not in the canonical list, no character_id matches. Therefore, no entry for Hugh Capet.
