	Chapter 10: The Crusader Kingdom of Valencia
		The grange was an institution peculiar to the Cistercians; it was an outpost of the monastery, where a group of lay brothers could be installed in farm buildings under a resident master of the grange, so as to exploit the inconveniently distant fringes of monastic property.
		Poblet, the parent monastery of Benifasá, had fortified itself as early as 1225 with a crown concession for free grazing throughout the countryside of Peñíscola, Chivert, Pulpis, and "all other lands we shall be able to win from the Saracens." Benifasá, especially in its earlier years, must have shared in this boon.
		The Poblet abbot here connected with the Benifasá foundation in Valencia was Vidal of Alguaire (1232-1236); his predecessor had just become archbishop of Aix in Provence, and his successor as abbot (Simon, 1236-1237) was to be made bishop of Segorbe-Albarracín, his successor in turn (Raymond of Siscar, 1238-1241) becoming bishop of Lérida.
