The Cistercians in Marchia Wallia and Pura Wallia
This article offers a reappraisal of the Cistercians in Wales and the Welsh border and evaluates how recent scholarship has informed our understanding of their place in Welsh society and culture. It begins with a discussion of the coming of the Cistercians to Wales and moves on to a number of areas which are currently being reconsidered and revaluated by scholars: the place of houses of Cistercian women in their local context and within the Order…
The Care of Nuns
In this welcome volume, Katie Ann-Marie Bugyis gives us an insight into communities of Benedictine nuns in England over the time span 900 to 1225. By examining their surviving liturgical books she uncovers the nature of the ministries—liturgical and pastoral—performed by religious women. The book opens with a provocative question: in considering the meanings and implications of the term cura monialium ‘should the nuns be understood as the object …
Home And Away
This article analyses evidence for the networks of Cistercian abbots of the family of Whitland in south-west Wales, head of an affiliation of abbeys founded by native Welsh rulers. These houses were, on the one hand, members of an international order with its own demands and expectations, and, on the other, deeply enmeshed in their local societies. Drawing both on the records of the Cistercian General Chapter and on letters concerning Welsh abbey…
The White Nuns
Constance Berman is an acknowledged authority on Cistercian nuns, having authored dozens of articles and papers on the subject as well as discussing it in her 2000 book The Cistercian Evolution: The Invention of a Religious Order in Twelfth-Century Europe, reprinted in 2010. The White Nuns, therefore, represents the culmination of over thirty years of painstaking archival and literary research during which Berman has challenged and turned upside …
Women in the Medieval Monastic World
"There has long been a tendency among monastic historians to ignore or marginalize female participation in monastic life, but recent scholarship has begun to redress the balance, and the great contributions made by women to the religious life of the Middle Ages are now attracting increasing attention. This interdisciplinary volume draws together scholars from Spain, Italy, France, the Low Countries, Germany, Transylvania, Scandinavia, and the Bri…

The Regular Canons in the Medieval British Isles
Of all the new monastic and religious groups to settle in the British Isles in the course of the twelfth century the regular canons were the most prolific. At the heart of their existence was the vita apostolica, but even more than other such groups the regular canons became involved in active spiritual care of their communities.

Past Models and Contemporary Concerns
Of all the medieval monastic orders the Cistercian has undoubtedly received the most attention from historians, and this engagement with the White Monks shows no sign of abating. In the words of David Robinson in his recent volume on the Cistercian abbeys of Wales, ‘to turn one’s back on the subject, even for a moment, is to lose the plot’. Current scholarship continues to be concerned with a range of issues. However, much of the most controversi…
The Monastic Order in Yorkshire, 1069–1215
This 1999 book explores the dramatic growth of the monastic order in Yorkshire from the foundation of the first post-Conquest abbey at Selby in 1069 to 1215. The first half examines the dynamics of monastic expansion, discussing the influences on both its chronological development and its geographical pattern. It demonstrates that the monastic expansion owed much to the particular political and tenurial conditions which existed in the century aft…
Monastic and Religious Orders in Britain, 1000–1300
This book traces the development of monasticism in England, Scotland and Wales from the last half century of Anglo-Saxon England to 1300. It explores the nature of the impact of the Norman settlement on monastic life, and how Britain responded to new, European ideas on monastic life. In particular, it examines Britain's response to the needs of religious women. It covers every aspect of the life and work of the religious orders: their daily life,…
