In the twelfth century the sleeves of the hauberk sometimes ter- iiiiuated at the elbow, but in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries these came down to the wrist, and ver^' generally descended over the hand in the form of a glove or mitten. In the fourteenth century the hauberk was sometimes worn under plate armor. See Abmob. HAUBOLD, hou'bolt, Christian Gottlieb (1700-1824).

Born at Frederikshald, in Norway, of Danish parents, he came to Denmark (1803) when his mother died, and fought against the English in 1807. He entered the university at Copenhagen in 1808, and was made a doctor in 1821. Through association with Ochlenschlager, he became an apostle of literary reform. He wrote many dramas of little importance. Then in 1834 he turned to prose fiction, in which field he wrote: Vilhelm Zabern (1834), the most admired; Qtddmageren (1830) ; En polsk Familie (1839) ; and Hlottet red Rhinen (1845). In 1842 he published a collection of poems. In 1846 he was made pro- fessor of Scandinavian languages at Kiel, but re- turned to Copenhagen in 1848, and now wrote manv good tragedies, such as: Siistrene pna KiniiekuVcn (1849); Mrirsk ,Sf/<; .( 1850) , the best; Tycho Brake's Ungdom (1852) ; and Julian den Frafaldne (1868). He wrote also an historic epic, Valdemar Atterdag (1862), and a second collection of poems (1861). He succeeded Och- lenschlager as professor of aesthetics at Copen- hagen in 1851. Of strong imagination and with a bent for the mystic and supernatural, his work at its best is admirable, but its average is not high. Hauch's Dramatic ^Yorks appeared in three volumes (Copenhatven, 1852-59) ; his ro- mances in seven (ib., 1873) ; and his poems have also been collected (ib., 1890 et seq.). Consult Brandcs.

Consult Bohmersheim, Zitr Errinnerung an Franz von llauer (Vienna, 1899). HAUFI", houf, WiLHELM (1802-27). A Ger- man novelist, born at Stuttgart. His education was desultory, and revealed no precocity; his eliective training came from his mother and sisters, and tended to cultivate the imagination rather than the intellect. He studied theology at Tubingen (1820-24), and in 1826 published bis first volume, Murchemdmanufh, followed by two sequels of like title, all marked by a singularly dramatic humor. Equally successful were the ilitteilun- gen aus den Memoiren des Satans (1826), and Der Mann im Monde (1826), the last under the name of H. Clauren, a lesser novelist, whose sen- timentality it was intended to parody. This it did so successfully as to deceive Clauren's most enthusiastic admirers. His best romance is his Lichtcnstein (1826). It is a vivid series of historical pictures of men and manners, and has held its popularity for three g'-nerations. Ilauff traveled in Germany, France, and Bel- gium, became editor of the Stuttgart Morgen- blatt, and married. The summer of 1827 he passed in the Tyrol, still at work ; but in Septem- ber his health began to fail, and in October he died. To 1827 belong the Phantnsien im Bremer Ratskeller ; Das> Bild des Kaisers: and Die Bet- tlerin vom Pont des Arts. Among the other collected Tales, the best are: Das ^yirtshaus im. Spcssart ; Othello; Jud Siiss: and Die Siingerin. Hauff's Works are still often reprinted, and en- joy undiminished popularity.
