高化,真定人。
宋史卷三百二十三 列传第八十二:
  高化,字仲熙,真定人。少沉勇有力,不事耕稼,学击剑,善射。契丹犯河北,应募转饷飞狐口。杨业留戏下,使捕贼酋大鹏翼,获之。会契丹又犯真定,乃辞业还家,家属尽为契丹所掠去。从州将入京师,遂隶禁军,选为襄王牵官。王尹京,命巡内外八厢,积获奸盗甚众。盗有遗化金帛者,化弗受。一日,王趋急召出府门,马惊堕,化掖之而起。王曰:"微尔。吾几殆。"益亲信之。
  真宗即位,擢御龙弩直双员都头,累迁御龙骨朵直都虞候。乾兴初,授天武右第二军都指挥使、荣州刺史,迁天武右厢都指挥使、蜀州团练使。天圣六年夏,大雨,命护汴堤。夜驰至城西,堤欲坏,督守兵负土不能遏。时夏守恩方典军,积材木城隅,化尽取以塞堤,乃得无患。仁宗嘉之,进神龙卫四厢都指挥使、龚州防御使,为鄜延路马步军副都总管,徙泾原路、权知渭州,迁捧日、天武四厢都指挥使。
  发兵袭明珠族,不利,降滑州总管。改兴州防御使、真定路副都总管,徙高阳关路。修护章惠太后园陵,累拜殿前副都指挥使,历建武军节度使。以老,辞管军。诏入朝,化又固请,改武安军节度使、知沧州,未行,改相州。部有大狱已具,皆当论死。化疑之,遣移讯,果出无罪者三人。逾年,复告老,以右屯卫上将军致仕。卒,年八十。赠太尉,谥曰恭庄。
  化谨质少过,驭军有法。虽起身行伍,然颇知民事焉。
