	The Benedictine Order - Ökumenisches Heiligenlexikon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		It was from the monastery of St. Andrew in Rome that St. Augustine, the prior, and his forty companions set forth in 595 on their mission for the evangelization of England, and with them St. Benedict's idea of the monastic life first emerged from Italy.
		Monasteries such as these often became in turn the centres of revival and reform in their respective neighbourhoods, so that during the tenth and eleventh centuries there arose several free unions of monasteries based on a uniform observance derived from a central abbey.
		The council decreed that the monasteries of each country should be banded together into a congregation; periodical representative chapters were to ensure systematic government after one pattern; the appointment of definitors and visitors was to secure uniformity and cohesion; and the autonomy of the individual monasteries were to be preserved.

		It existed, in name and in fact, as the church of the English people centuries before that people became a united nation, and, in spite of changes in doctrine and ritual, it remains the same church that was planted in England at the end of the 6th century.
		Great as were the benefits which the English derived from their teaching, its cessation was not altogether a loss, for the church was passing beyond the stage of mission teaching and needed organization, and that it could not have received from the Scots.
		English clerks studied philosophy and theology at Paris or law at Bologna; some remained abroad and were famous as scholars, others like Archbishops Langton, and Edmund Rich, and Bishop Grosseteste returned to be rulers of the church, and others like Roger Bacon to continue their studies in England.

	Dissolution of the Monasteries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dissolution of the Monasteries, referred to by Roman Catholic writers as the Suppression of the Monasteries, was the formal process by which King Henry VIII confiscated the property of the monastic institutions in England between 1538 and 1541.
		Many of the dismantled monasteries and friaries were sold for nominal amounts (often to the local townspeople), and some of the lands the King gave to his supporters; there were also pensions to be paid to some of the dispossessed clerics.
		The rebels called for an end to the dissolution of the monasteries, for the removal of Cromwell, and for Henry's daughter, and eldest child, the Catholic Mary to be named as successor in place of his younger son Edward.

	Monasticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Celibacy is of primary importance in monastic discipline, being seen as the preeminent factor in separating the life of a monk from that of a 'householder'.
		Sabbas the Sanctified organized the monks of the Judean Desert in a monastery close to Bethlehem (483), and this is considered the mother of all monasteries of the Eastern Orthodox churches.
		Benedict of Nursia founded the monastery of Monte Cassino in Italy (529), which was the seed of Roman Catholic monasticism in general, and of the order of Benedict in particular.

	Suppression of English Monasteries under Henry VIII (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		From any point of view the destruction of the English monasteries by Henry VIII must be regarded as one of the great events of the sixteenth century.
		The monastery offered these poor people a few nights stay for free within their rooms, while the monastery infirmary was used as a hospital for sick people from the towns as well as for poorly monks.
		Monasteries were looked upon in England, at the time of Henry's breach with Rome, as one of the great bulwarks of the papal system; the monks had been called "the great standing army of Rome".

	The Benedictine Order
		In Switzerland the disciples of Columbanus had founded monasteries early in the seventh century, two of the best known being St. Gall's, established by the saint of that name, and Dissentis (612), founded by St. Sigisbert.
		On account of the difficulties arising from the direction of the French monasteries by a superior residing in another kingdom, a separate congregation — that of St.-Maur — was organized in 1621 for the monasteries in France, whilst that of St.-Vannes was restricted to those situated in Lorraine.
		Apostolic work was also done by the English Fathers of the Cassinese P. congregation amongst the Hindus in Western Bengal, and amongst the Maoris in New Zealand; and French monks of the same congregation laboured in the Apostolic vicariate of the Indian Territory, U. A., from the headquarters at the Sacred Heart Abbey, Oklahoma.

		English church reform was, thus, separate from the continent, but under the influence of leaders that were aware of continental reforms.
		The monastery at Cluny was the center of the continental reform movement.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Suppression of English Monasteries Under Henry VIII
		It is well to remember this, as it throws an interesting and somewhat unexpected light upon the first dissolutions: the monasteries were doomed prior to these visitations, and not in consequence of them, as we have been asked to believe according to the traditional story.
		No other evidence as to the state of the monasteries at this time is forthcoming, and the inquirer into the truth of these accusations is driven back ultmately upon the worth of these visitors' words.
		Hence, as a rough calculation, it may be taken that at the fall of the monasteries an income of about two million pounds sterling a year, of the 1910 money value, was taken from the Church and the poor and transferred to the royal purse.

	Henry VIII, monasteries and Bible
		Although the population of England was increasing during the 16th century, the number of monks and nuns was in decline.
		The monasteries were major landlords and were no better (but no worse) than their lay counterparts in the way they treated their tenants.
		The Dissolution of the monasteries involved a certain amount of physical destruction: buildings decayed because the lead was seized from the roofs; libraries were broken up and sold off.

	Cluniac Order
		For those monasteries that have spawned numerous daughters, however, the fee is not merely emblematic, as the cumulative income derived therefrom constitutes a substantial sum [23].
		It is thus often extremely difficult for English parent houses to reign in disobedient offspring, and as a result, individual priories often exercise considerable autonomy [30].
		In English houses, novices are frequently inducted and then take their vows without the abbot's knowledge or sanction, and some religious who are to travel to Cluny to complete their profession wait years or even decades to do so.

	Dissolution of the Monasteries
		The monasteries were rich, and a lot of that wealth found its way directly or indirectly to the royal treasury.
		Some of the monastery buildings were sold to wealthy gentry for use as country estates.
		One of the results of the Dissolution of the Monasteries is that those who bought the old monastic lands were inclined to support Henry in his break with Rome, purely from self interest.

	Church History - Maccaffrey (V. 2)
		The English nation, weakened by the Wars of the Roses and tired of a contest that possessed little interest for the masses, was not unwilling to submit itself without reserve to the guidance of a strong ruler provided he could guarantee peace both at home and abroad.
		It cannot be said with justice that the English people at the time were either badly instructed in the principles of their religion or indifferent to the practices of the Church to which they belonged.
		The fortresses along the coast and on the Scottish borders were strengthened, and replenished; the fleet was held in readiness in the Thames; and a volunteer army trained and equipped was raised to contest the progress of the invaders or at least to defend the capital.

	At the Edge: Recovering the lost religious place-names of England
		Monasteries and minsters are a good place to start, because they are relatively well documented.
		Parallels to English eg would seem to be Welsh ynys (‘island’), as in Ynys Pyr (Caldey Island, ‘the ynys of St Piro') [10] and Scandinavian holm (‘small, island’), as in the monastic names Durham (dun holm), Holme Cultram (Cumb) and Hulme St Benet’s (Norfolk).
		As Sawyer says [37], Old English place-names probably were subject to periodic complete substitution, with stability achieved only through the influence of legal or tax documents, or by the construction of a church.

	Medieval Sourcebook: The Suppression of Glastonbury Abbey
		Under Henry VIII, in the most successful land grab in English history, Henry VIII and his chief minister Thomas Cromwell suppressed the monasteries.
		To maintain political support, Henry, Edward, and later Elizabeth awarded monastic lands to members of the English aristocracy (hence the number of English Stately homes called "Abbey").
		This disbursal of Church lands meant that the entire English upper class was committed to maintaining separation from Rome, and "Protestantism" became a defining feature of English national identity.
