Cluniac order| Christian religious order established 910 by William of Aquitaine at the monastic foundation at Cluny, France, as a revival movement based on the Benedictine order. Its reforms extended to other monasteries in Germany, Italy, Spain, and England. Legally the order came to an end 1790, though its influence persisted. It stressed biblical scholarship and elaborate church ceremony. |
