== Life == The origins of Huguet are unclear. One hypothesis states that he came from the Mediterranean coast of Catalonia. Another states that he was called David Huguet and came from Ireland. He may have been recommended to Queen Philippa of Lancaster by the master mason Henry Yevele, builder of the naves of Westminster Abbey and Canterbury Cathedral, or Henry Yevele may have sent a few English architects, or both.
