THE VARIOUS RELIGIOUS ORDERS
The various Orders existing in England in pre-Reformation days may be
classified under four headings: (1) Monks, (2) Canons Regular, (3)
Military Orders, and (4) Friars. As regards the nuns, most of the houses
were affiliated to one or other of the above-named Orders.
I. MONKS
i. _Benedictines_
St. Benedict, justly called the Patriarch of Western Monachism,
established his rule of life in Italy; first at Subiaco and subsequently
at Monte Cassino about A.D. 529. The design of his code was, like every
other rule of regular life, to enable men to reach the higher Christian
ideals by the helps afforded them in a well-regulated monastery. According
to the saint’s original conception, the houses were to be separate
families independent of each other. It was no part of his scheme to
establish a corporation with branches in various localities and countries,
or to found an “Order” in its modern sense. By its own inherent excellence
and because of the sound common-sense which pervades it, the Rule of St.
Benedict at once began to take root in the monasteries of the West, till
it quickly superseded any others then in existence. Owing to its broad and
elastic character, and hardly less, probably, to the fact that adopting it
did not imply the joining of any stereotyped form of Order, monasteries
could, and in fact did, embrace this code without entirely breaking with
their past traditions. Thus, side by side in the same religious house, we
find that the rule of St. Columba was observed with that of St. Benedict
until the greater practical sense of the latter code superseded the more
rigid legislation of the former. Within a comparatively short time from
the death of St. Benedict in A.D. 543, the Benedictine became the
recognised form of Western regular life. To this end the action of Pope
St. Gregory the Great and his high approval of St. Benedict’s Rule greatly
conduced. In his opinion it manifested no common wisdom in its provisions,
which were dictated by a marvellous insight into human nature and by a
knowledge of the best possible conditions for attaining the end of all
monastic life, the perfect love of God and of man. Whilst not in any way
lax in its provisions, it did not prescribe an asceticism which could be
practised only by the few; whilst the most ample powers were given to the
superior to adapt the regulations to all circumstances of times and
places; thus making it applicable to every form of the higher Christian
life, from the secluded cloister to that for which St. Gregory specially
used those trained under it: the evangelisation of far-distant countries.

[Illustration: BENEDICTINE NUN]
The connection between the Benedictines and England began with the mission
of St. Augustine in A.D. 597. The monastery of Monte Cassino having been
destroyed by the Lombards, towards the end of the sixth century, the
monks took refuge in Rome, and were placed in the Lateran, and by St.
Gregory in the church he founded in honour of St. Andrew, in his ancestral
home on the Cœlian Hill. It was the prior of St. Andrew’s whom he chose to
be the head of the other missionary monks he sent to convert England. With
the advent of the Scottish monks from Iona the system of St. Columba was
for a time introduced into the North of England; but here, as in the rest
of Europe, it quickly gave place to the Benedictine code; and practically
during the whole Saxon period this was the only form of monastic life in
England.
ii. _Cluniacs_
The Cluniac adaptation of the Benedictine Rule took its rise in A.D. 912
with Berno, abbot of Gigny. With the assistance of the Duke of Aquitaine
he built and endowed a monastery at Cluny, near Macon-sur-Saone. The
Cluniac was a new departure in monastic government. Hitherto the monastery
was practically self-centred; any connection with other religious houses
was at most voluntary, and any bond of union that may have existed, was of
the most loose description. The ideal upon which Cluny was established was
the existence of a great central monastery with dependencies spread over
many lands, and forming a vast feudal hierarchy of subordinate
establishments with the closest dependence on the mother-house. Moreover,
the superior of each of the dependent monasteries, no matter how large and
important, was not the elect of the community, but the nominee of the
abbot of Cluny; and in the same way the profession of every member of the
congregation was made in his name and with his sanction. It was a great
ideal; and for two centuries the abbots of Cluny form a dynasty worthy of
so lofty a position. The first Cluniac house founded in England was that
of Barnstaple. This was speedily followed by that of Lewes, a priory set
up by William, earl of Warren, in A.D. 1077, eleven years only after the
Conquest. The last was that of Stonesgate, in Essex, made almost exactly a
century later. On account of their dependence upon the abbot of Cluny,
several of the lesser houses were suppressed as “alien priories” towards
the close of the fourteenth century, and those that remained gradually
freed themselves from their obedience to the foreign superior. At the time
of the general suppression in the sixteenth century there were thirty-two
Cluniac houses; one only, Bermondsey, was an abbey; the rest were
priories, of which the most important was that which had been nearly the
first in order of time, Lewes.
iii. _Cistercians_
The congregation of Citeaux was at one time the most flourishing of the
offshoots of the great Benedictine body. The monastery of Citeaux was
established by St. Robert of Molesme in A.D. 1092. The saint was a
Benedictine, and felt himself called to something different to what he had
found in the monasteries of France. The peculiar system of the
Cistercians, however, was the work of St. Stephen Harding, an Englishman,
who at an early age had left his own country and never returned thither.
He struck out a new line, which was a still further departure from the
ideal of St. Benedict than was the Cluniac system. The Cistercians, whilst
strictly maintaining the notion that each monastery was a family endowed
with the principles of fecundity, formed themselves into an Order, in
the sense of an organised corporation, under the perpetual pre-eminence of
the abbot and house of Citeaux, and with yearly Chapters at which all
superiors were bound to attend. It was the chief object of the
administration to secure absolute uniformity in all things and everywhere.
This was obtained by the Chapters, and by the visitations of the abbot of
Citeaux, made anywhere and everywhere at will. The Order spread during the
first century of its existence with great rapidity. It is said that, by
the middle of the twelfth century, Citeaux had five hundred dependencies,
and that fifty years later there were more than three times that number.
In England the first abbey was founded by King Henry I. at Furness in A.D.
1127, and of the hundred houses existing at the general suppression
three-fourths had been founded in the twelfth century. The rest, with the
exception of St. Mary Grace, London, established in 1349 by Edward III.,
were founded in the early part of the thirteenth century.

[Illustration: CISTERCIAN MONK]
iv. _Carthusians_
The Carthusians were founded in the eleventh century by St. Bruno. With
the help of the bishop of Grenoble he built for himself and six
companions, in the mountains near the city, an oratory and small separate
cells in imitation of the ancient Lauras of Egypt. This was in A.D. 1086;
and the Order takes its designation from the name of the
place--Chartreuse. Peter the Venerable, the celebrated abbot of Cluny,
writing forty years after the foundation, thus describes their austere
form of life. “Their dress,” he says, “is meaner and poorer than that of
other monks, so short and scanty and so rough that the very sight
affrights one. They wear coarse hair-shirts next their skin; fast almost
perpetually; eat only bean-bread; whether sick or well never touch flesh;
never buy fish, but eat it if given them as an alms; eat eggs on Sundays
and Thursdays; on Tuesdays and Saturdays their fare is pulse or herbs
boiled; on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays they take nothing but bread
and water; and they have only two meals a day, except within the octaves
of Christmas, Easter, Whitsuntide, Epiphany, and other festivals. Their
constant occupation is praying, reading and manual labour, which consists
chiefly in transcribing books. They say the lesser Hours of the Divine
Office in their cells at the time when the bell rings, but meet together
at Vespers and Matins with wonderful recollection.”
A manner of life of such great austerity naturally did not attract many
votaries. It was a special vocation to the few, and it was not until A.D.
1222 that the first house of the Order was established in England, at
Hinton, in Somersetshire, by William Langesper. The last foundation was
the celebrated Charterhouse of Shene, in Surrey, made by King Henry V. At
the time of the general dissolution, there were in all eight English
monasteries and about a hundred members.
II. THE CANONS REGULAR
The clergy of every large church were in ancient times called
_canonici_--canons--as being on the list of those who were devoted to the
service of the Church. In the eighth century, Chrodegand, bishop of Metz,
formed the clergy of his cathedral into a body, living in common under a
rule and bound to the public recitation of the Divine Office. They were
known still as canons, or those living under a rule of life like the
monks, from the true meaning of κανών, a rule. This common life was in
time abandoned in spite of the provisions of several Councils, and then
institutions other than Cathedral Chapters became organised upon lines
similar to those laid down by Chrodegand, and they became known as Canons
Regular. They formed themselves generally on the so-called Rule of St.
Augustine, and became known, in England at least, as Augustinian Canons,
Premonstratensian Canons, and Gilbertine Canons.
[Illustration: CARTHUSIAN MONK]
[Illustration: CANON REGULAR OF ST. AUGUSTINE]
i. _Augustinian Canons_
The early history of the Austin, or Black Canons, is involved in
considerable obscurity, and it is only after the beginning of the twelfth
century that these Regulars are to be found in Europe. The Order was
conventual, or monastic, rather than congregational or provincial, like
the Friars: that is, the members were professed for a special house and
belonged by virtue of their vows to it, and not to the general body of
their brethren in the country. In one point they were not so closely bound
to their house as were the monks. The Regular Canons were allowed in
individual cases to serve the parishes that were impropriated to their
houses; the monks were always obliged to employ secular vicars in these
cures. The Augustinians were very popular in England; most of their houses
having been established in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The
earliest foundation was that of Christ Church, or Holy Trinity, Aldgate,
made by Queen Maud in A.D. 1108; and at the time of the dissolution there
were about 170 houses of Augustinian Canons in England; two of the
abbeys, Waltham Cross and Cirencester, being governed by mitred abbots. In
Ireland they were even more popular and numerous, the number of the houses
of canons being put at 223, together with 33 nunneries. The Augustinian
priors of Christ Church, and All Hallows, Dublin, and seven other priors
of the Order, had seats in the Irish Parliament. The habit of the Order
was black, and hence they were frequently known as BLACK CANONS.
ii. _The Premonstratensian Canons_
This branch of the Canons Regular was established by St. Norbert in A.D.
1119 at a place called Prémontré, a lonely and desolate valley near Laon
in France. Their founder gave them the Rule of St. Augustine, and they
became known either as Premonstratensians, from their first foundation, or
Norbertines, from their founder. The habit of these canons was white, with
a white rochet and even a white cap, and for this reason they were
frequently known as WHITE CANONS. Besides following the ordinary
Augustinian Rule, these Canons made Prémontré into a “mother-house,” and
the abbot of Prémontré was abbot-general of the entire Order: having the
right to visit, either by himself or deputy, every house of the
congregation; to summon every superior to the yearly General Chapter; and
to impose a tax for the use of the Order upon all the houses. This, so far
as England is concerned, lasted in theory until A.D. 1512, when all the
English houses were placed under the abbot of Welbeck. Previously they had
been for more than thirty years supervised on behalf of the abbot of
Prémontré, by Bishop Redman, who also continued to hold the office of
abbot of Shap. In England, just before the dissolution, there were some
thirty-four houses of the Order.
[Illustration: PREMONSTRATENSIAN CANON]
[Illustration: GILBERTINE CANON]
iii. _The Gilbertines_
The Canons of St. Gilbert of Sempringham are said to have been established
in A.D. 1139, although the actual date appears to be uncertain, some
annals putting the foundation as early as A.D. 1131, others as late as
A.D. 1148. St. Gilbert, the founder, was Rector of Sempringham and
composed his rule from those of St. Austin and St. Benedict. It was a dual
Order, for both men and women; the former followed St. Augustine’s code
with some additions, whilst the women took the Cistercian recension of the
Benedictine Rule.
These canons, according to Dugdale, had a black habit with a white cloak
and a hood lined with lamb’s wool. The women were in black with a white
cap. In the double monasteries the canons and nuns lived in separate
houses having no communication. At first the Order flourished greatly. St.
Gilbert in his lifetime founded thirteen houses, nine for men and women
and four for men only. In these there are said to have been seven hundred
canons and fifteen hundred sisters.
The Order was under the rule of a general superior, called the master or
prior-general. His leave was necessary for the admission of members, and,
in fact, to initiate business or at least give validity to the proposals
of any house. There were, in all, some twenty-six of these establishments
in England at the time of the general dissolution. Four only of these were
considered as ranking among the greater monasteries whose income was above
£200 a year.
III. THE MILITARY ORDERS
i. _Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem_
The Hospitallers began in A.D. 1092 with the building of a hospital for
pilgrims at Jerusalem. The original idea of the work of these knights was
to provide for the needs of pilgrims visiting the Holy Land and to afford
them protection on their way. They, too, followed a rule of life founded
upon that of St. Augustine, and their dress was black with a white cross
upon it. They came to England very shortly after their foundation, and had
a house built for them in London in A.D. 1100. They rose in wealth and
importance in the country; and their head, or grand prior as he was
called, became the first lay baron in England, and had a seat in the House
of Peers.
Upon many of their manors and estates the Knights Hospitallers had small
establishments named _commanderies_, which were under the government of
one of their number, called the commander. These houses were sometimes
known as _preceptories_, but this was a term more generally used for the
establishments of the other great Military Order, the Templars. An
offshoot of both these orders was known as “The Order of St. Lazarus of
Jerusalem.” There were a few houses of this branch in England, which was
founded chiefly to assist and support lepers and indigent members of all
the Military Orders. They are, however, usually regarded as hospitals. The
Knights of St. John of Jerusalem had their headquarters at the Hospital of
St. John, near Clerkenwell, to which were attached some fifty-three cells
or commanderies.
[Illustration: GILBERTINE NUN]
[Illustration: KNIGHT HOSPITALLER]
ii. _The Templars_
The Military Order of the Templars was founded, according to Tanner, about
the year A.D. 1118. They derived their name from the Temple of Jerusalem,
and the original purpose of their institute was to secure the roads to
Palestine, and protect the holy places. They must have come into England
early in the reign of King Stephen, as they had several foundations at
this time, the first being that in London which gave its name to the
present Temple. They became too rich and powerful; and having been accused
of great crimes, their Order was suppressed by Pope Clement V. in 1309: an
act which was confirmed in the Council of Vienne in 1312. The head of the
Order in England was styled the “Master of the Temple,” and was sometimes,
as such, summoned to Parliament.
Upon their manors and estates the Templars, like the Hospitallers,
frequently built churches and houses, in which some of the brethren lived.
These were subordinate to the London house and were in reality cells,
under the title of “Preceptories.” On the final suppression of the Order,
their lands and houses, to the number of eighteen, were handed over to the
Knights of St. John of Jerusalem. One house, Ferriby, in Yorkshire, became
a priory of Austin Canons, and four other estates appear to have been
confiscated. In all there were some three-and-twenty preceptories
connected with the London Temple.
IV. THE FRIARS
The friars differed from the monks in certain ways. The brethren by their
profession were bound, not to any locality or house, but to the province,
which usually consisted of the entire number of houses in a country. They
did not, consequently, form individual families in their various
establishments, like the monks in their monasteries. They also, at first,
professed the strictest poverty, not being allowed to possess even
corporate property like the monastic Orders. They were by their profession
mendicants, living on alms, and only holding the mere buildings in which
they dwelt.
i. _The Dominicans, or Black Friars_
The founder of these friars was a Spaniard named Dominic, a canon of the
diocese of Osma, in Old Castile, at the close of the twelfth century. They
were known as Dominicans, from their founder; “Preaching Friars,” from
their mission to convert heretics; in England, “Black Friars,” from the
colour of their cloak; and in France “Jacobins,” from having had their
first house in the Rue St. Jacques, at Paris. Their rule was founded on
that of St. Augustine, and it was verbally approved in the Council of
Lateran in A.D. 1215, and the following year formally by Honorius III.
Their founder, having been a secular canon of Osma in Spain, his friars at
first adopted the ordinary dress of canons; but about A.D. 1219 they took
a white tunic, scapular, and hood, over which, when in church or when they
went abroad, they wore a black _cappa_, or cloak, with a hood of the same
colour. They first came to England with Peter de Rupibus, bishop of
Winchester, in A.D. 1221, and their Order quickly spread. In the first
year of their arrival they obtained a foothold in the University of
Oxford, and at the time of the general suppression of the religious Orders
in the sixteenth century they had fifty-eight convents in the country.
[Illustration: KNIGHT TEMPLAR]
[Illustration: DOMINICAN FRIAR]
ii. _The Franciscan, or Grey Friars_
St. Francis the founder of the Grey Friars was contemporary with St.
Dominic, and was born at Assisi, in the province of Umbria in Italy, in
A.D. 1182. These friars were called Franciscans from their founder; “Grey
Friars” from the colour of their habit; and “Minorites” from their humble
desire to be considered the least of the Orders. Their rule was approved
by Innocent III. in A.D. 1210 and by the General Council of the Lateran in
A.D. 1215. Their dress was made of a coarse brown cloth with a long
pointed hood of the same material, and a short cloak. They girded
themselves with a knotted cord and went barefooted. The Franciscan Friars
first found their way to England in A.D. 1224, and at the general
destruction of Regular life in England in the sixteenth century they had
in all about sixty-six establishments. A reformation of the Order to
primitive observance was made in the fifteenth century and confirmed by
the Council of Constance in A.D. 1414. The branches of the Order which
adopted it became known as “Observants” or “Recollects.” This branch of
the Order was represented in England by several houses built for them by
King Henry VII., although they are supposed to have been brought into
England in the time of Edward IV.
The whole Order in England was divided into seven “Custodies” or
“Wardenships,” the houses being grouped round convenient centres such as
London, York, Cambridge, Bristol, Oxford, Newcastle, and Worcester.
Harpsfield says that the “Recollects” or “Observants” had six friaries, at
Canterbury, Greenwich, Richmond, Southampton, Newark, and Newcastle.
_The Minoresses, or Nuns of St. Clare_
The Minoresses were instituted by St. Clare, the sister of St. Francis of
Assisi, about A.D. 1212, as the branch of the Franciscan Order for
females. They followed the Rule of the Friars Minor and were thus called
“Minoresses,” or Nuns of St. Clare, after their foundress. They wore the
same dress as the Franciscan Friars, and imitated them in their poverty,
for which cause they were sometimes known as “Poor Clares.” They were
brought to England somewhere about A.D. 1293, and established in London,
without Aldgate, in the locality now known as the Minories. The Order had
two other houses, one at Denney, in Cambridgeshire, in which at the time
of the general dissolution there were some twenty-five nuns; and the other
at Brusyard in Suffolk, which was a much smaller establishment. The nuns
at Denney had previously been located at Waterbeche for about fifty years,
being removed to their new home by Mary, countess of Pembroke, in A.D.
1348.
iii. _Carmelites_
The Carmelite Friars were so called from the place of their origin. They
were also named “White Friars” from the colour of the cloak of their
habit, and Friars of the Blessed Virgin. These friars are first heard of
in the twelfth century, on being driven out of Palestine by the
persecution of the Saracens. Their Rule is chiefly founded on that of
St. Basil, and was confirmed by Pope Honorius III. in A.D. 1224, and
finally approved by Innocent IV. in 1250. They were brought into England
by John Vesey and Richard Grey, and established their first houses in the
north at Alnwick, and in the south at Ailesford in Kent. At the latter
place the first European Chapter of the Order was held in A.D. 1245. In
the sixteenth century there were about forty houses in England and Wales.
[Illustration: FRANCISCAN FRIAR]
[Illustration: FRANCISCAN NUN, OR MINORESS]
iv. _Austin Friars, or Hermits_
The body of Austin Friars took its historical origin in the union of
several existing bodies of friars effected in A.D. 1265 by Pope Clement
IV. They were regarded as belonging to the ranks of the mendicant friars
and not to the monastic Order. They were very widely spread, and in Europe
in the sixteenth century they are said to have possessed three thousand
convents, in which were thirty thousand friars; besides three hundred
convents of nuns. In England at the time of the dissolution they had some
thirty-two friaries.
V. THE LESSER FRIARS
i. _Friars of the Sack, or De Penitentia_
These brethren of penance were called “Friars of the Sack” because their
dress was cut without other form than that of a simple bag or sack, and
made of coarse cloth, like sackcloth. Most authorities, however, represent
this as merely a familiar name, and say that their real title was that of
Friars, or Brethren of Penance. They took their origin apparently in
Italy, and came to England during the reign of Henry III., where, about
A.D. 1257, they opened a house in London. They had many settlements in
France, Spain, and Germany, but lost most of them after the Council of
Lyons in A.D. 1274, when Pope Gregory X. suppressed all begging friars
with the exception of the four mendicant Orders of Dominicans,
Franciscans, Austin Friars, and Carmelites. This did not, however, apply
universally, and in England the _Fratres de Sacco_ remained in existence
until the final suppression of the religious Orders in the sixteenth
century. The dress of these friars was apparently made of rough brown
cloth, and was not unlike that of the Franciscans; they had their feet
bare and wore wooden sandals. Their mode of life was very austere, and
they never ate meat and drank only water.
ii. _Pied Friars, or Fratres de Pica_
These religious were so called from the colours of their habit, which was
black and white, like a magpie. They had but one house in England, at
Norwich, and had only a brief existence, as the Pied Friars were obliged,
by the Council of Lyons, to join one or other of the four great mendicant
Orders. Their house, which, according to Blomfield, stood in the
north-east corner of the churchyard of St. Peter’s Church, was given to
the Hospital of Bek, at Billingford in Norfolk.
iii. _Friars of St. Mary de Areno_
These friars had likewise but one house, at Westminster, founded towards
the end of the reign of Henry III. They, too, were short-lived as a body,
falling under the law of suppression of the lesser mendicant Orders. They,
however, continued for a few years longer, as Tanner quotes a Close
Roll of 11 Edward II., to show that they were only dissolved in that year,
A.D. 1318.
[Illustration: CARMELITE FRIAR]
[Illustration: AUSTIN FRIAR]
iv. _Friars of Our Lady, or de Domina_
The Friars of Our Lady are said to have lived under the Rule of St.
Austin. They had a white habit, with a black cloak and hood. They were
instituted in the thirteenth century, and had a house at Cambridge, near
the castle. Before A.D. 1290 they were also settled at Norwich, where they
continued until the great Pestilence in 1349, of which they all died.
v. _Friars of the Holy Trinity, or Trinitarians_
These religious were founded by SS. John of Matha and Felix of Valois
about A.D. 1197 for the redemption of captives. They were called
“_Trinitarians_,” because by their rule all their churches were dedicated
to the Holy Trinity, or “_Maturines_,” from the fact that their original
foundation in Paris was near St. Mathurine’s Chapel. The Order was
confirmed by Pope Innocent III., who gave the religious white robes, with
a red and blue cross on their breasts, and a cloak with the same emblem on
the left side. Their revenues were to be divided into three parts; one for
their own support, one to relieve the poor, and the third to ransom
Christians who had been taken captive by the infidels. They were brought
to England in A.D. 1244, and were given the lands and privileges of the
Canons of the Holy Sepulchre on the extinction of that Order. According to
the _Monasticon_, they had, in all, eleven houses in this country; but
these establishments were small, the usual number of religious in each
being three friars and three lay brothers. The superior was named
“minister,” and included in his office the functions of superior and
procurator; and the houses were united into a congregation under a
_Minister major_, who held a general Chapter annually for the regulation
of defects and the discussion of common interests.
vi. _Crutched, or Crossed Friars_
The Crossed Friars are said by some to have taken their origin in the Low
Countries, by others to have come from Italy in very early times, having
been instituted or reformed by one Gerard, prior of St. Maria di Morella
at Bologna. In 1169 Pope Alexander III. took them under his protection and
gave them a fixed rule of life. These friars first came to England in the
year 1244. Matthew Paris, writing of that time, says that they appeared
before a synod held by the bishop of Rochester, each carrying a stick upon
which was a cross. They presented documents from the pope and asked to be
allowed to make foundations of their fraternity in England. Clement Reyner
puts their first establishment in this country at Reigate, in 1245, and
their second in London in 1249. This last is the better known, as it has
given the name of Crutched Friars to a locality in the city of London. The
friars had a third house at Oxford, and altogether there were six or seven
English friaries. Besides the cross upon their staves, from which they
originally took their name, the friars had a red cloth cross upon the
breasts of their habits.
vii. _The Bethlemite Friars_
The origin of these friars is uncertain, and they were apparently only
known in England, and so may perhaps be considered to have had their
beginning in this country. Matthew Paris says that in the year 1257 they
were given a house at Cambridge, in Trumpington Street. He describes their
dress as being very like that of the Dominicans, from which it was
distinguished only by having a red star, of five points with a round blue
centre, on the scapular. This badge recalled the meaning of their name,
representing as it did the star which led the Magi to Bethlehem.
[Illustration: FRIAR OF THE SACK]
[Illustration: TRINITARIAN]
viii. _The Bonshommes_
These friars were apparently of English origin. Some have thought that
they were the same as the “Friars of the Sack,” but this is by no means
clear. Polydore Vergil says that Edmund of Cornwall, the brother of Henry
III., on his return from Germany in A.D. 1257, built and endowed a fine
monastery at Ashridge. This he gave “to a new order of men, never before
known in England, called _Boni Homines_, the Bonshommes. They followed the
rule of St. Augustine, wearing a blue-coloured dress of a form similar to
that of the Augustinian hermits.” The only other house possessed by the
Bonshommes was at Edingdon.
