Franciscan orderCatholic order of friars, Friars Minor or Grey Friars, founded in 1209 by Francis of Assisi. Subdivisions were the strict Observants; the Conventuals, who were allowed to own property corporately; and the Capuchins, founded in 1529. The Franciscan order included such scholars as the English scientist Roger Bacon. A female order, the Poor Clares, was founded by St Clare in 1215, and lay people who adopt a Franciscan regime without abandoning the world form a third order, Tertiaries.
