Saint Robert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Robert was a member of the nobility in Champagne, a younger son, who entered the abbey of Moutier-la-Celle, near Troyes, at age fifteen and later rose to the status of a prior. |
 | | He was made the abbot of Saint Michel-de-Tonmerre at some point after the year 1060, but he was unable to reform the abbey, which had become known for its laxity, and so he returned to Moutier-la-Celle. |
 | | Stephen Harding and Saint Alberic, two of Robert's monks from Molesme, were pivotal in founding the new house, as Robert ended up staying for only a year. |
