	Odo of Cluny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was the son of a feudal lord of Deols, near Le Mans and received his early education at the court of William the Pious, duke of Aquitaine, then studied at Paris under Remigius of Auxerre.
		Authorized by a privilege of Pope John XI in 931, Odo reformed the monasteries in Aquitaine, northern France, and Italy.
		Odo became the great reforming abbot of Cluny, which became the model of monasticism for over a century and transformed the role of piety in European daily life (see clunian Reforms).

		Although the Cistercian tradition was much more highly centralised than that of the Benedictines, through the French practice of holding an annual meeting of the General Chapter, the Pope obliged the monasteries to become organized into national Chapters-34-.
		This Counter Reformation art became popular throughout Catholic Europe, so its great success in Spain is not surprising, especially taking into account that the Spanish sensibility had already been prepared by the decorative precision of a genuinely Spanish style, the Plateresque, in which the Mudejar, Gothic and Renaissance traditions were united.
		At Melón the facade of the funeral chapel of l Cristo de la Salud was reformed in the classicist style.
