Lectures in Medieval History. Dictionary and Thesaurus We have already noted that one of the factors leading to the disintegration of the Carolingian empire was that its failure to expand turned the energies of its land-hungry class of fighting land-holders inward.
The contending parties in the civil wars of the time needed assistance and had to purchase it. Dukes and counts, margraves and local officials first demanded that their land-holdings and offices be made hereditary, and, when this point had been won, often sought grants of land from the royal fisc. Soon the claimants to power in Neustria (France) had given away so much land that they had less wealth and power than some of their landholders. With hereditary lands and offices, these fighting landholders began to coalesce into a class that it often called the feudal aristocracy. The most important practice was that which became common in the Germanies. No one necessarily enjoyed this situation. Europe in 910. Abbaye de Cluny.

Itinéraire et ecclésiologie d’un abbé réformateur, entre aristocratie carolingienne et monde féodal. 1Mener une étude sur Odon, deuxième abbé de Cluny, se justifiait par trois exigences historiographiques.
Bien que de nombreux travaux aient souligné l’importance d’Odon, il manquait tout d’abord un travail de synthèse prenant en compte l’ensemble de ses œuvres et son activité réformatrice 1. Par ailleurs, alors que plusieurs études avaient éclairé l’histoire de Cluny à son apogée, mais également le « Cluny d’après Cluny », les débuts du monastère demeuraient relativement mal connus 2. Dans ce cadre, en tenant compte des apports épistémologiques formulés depuis une vingtaine d’années, l’utilisation du biais biographique permettait, grâce à un dossier documentaire exceptionnellement riche, de réunir ces différentes approches 3. Plus encore, dans le cas d’Odon, grand aristocrate, intellectuel de haut niveau et multi-abbé de grande ampleur, l’approche biographique permettait, en dernier lieu, d’appréhender une période mal connue, la fin du ixe et la première moitié du xe siècle. Cluniac Order. The order of Cluny is a Benedictine offshoot founded at a time when reformist ideas were gaining momentum within the Church.
Widely regarded as the ultimate expression of the monastic ideal in the tenth and eleventh centuries, it became immensely popular, only to be superceded in the twelfth by newer orders such as the Cistercians. Though Cluny's spiritual authority has been undermined to some extent, the order still wields tremendous influence. Member houses, numbering in the hundreds, are spread over much of Europe. These communities' vast land holdings afford the order the status of a powerful temporal magnate.
Fêtes à Cluny pour le toilettage de l’abbaye. Chronique culture 12 août 16/10/2013 - par Ariane Kujawski écouter Quand on marche dans Cluny, un jour comme un autre, sans festivités, sans foule dans la rue, on est frappé par l’ambiance de paix qui se dégage du bourg.
Le décor, les bâtiments datant de l’époque médiévale, donnent l’impression de baigner dans cette spiritualité qui a fait la notoriété de Cluny. Car si cette ville bourguignonne peut sembler endormie, elle a été, au Moyen Age, un lieu d’effervescence chrétienne. Des centaines d’années plus tard, on peut ressentir une atmosphère à part, qu’on l’appelle recueillement, méditation, ou prière. De ce passé religieux et moyenâgeux, il ne reste que des bâtiments construits plus tardivement, notamment l’abbatiale Cluny III. L’Etat et la commune ont finalement décidé en 2007 de réhabiliter l’ensemble pour le valoriser. CLUNY.

Abbaye de Cluny - Centre des monuments nationaux. The Early Abbots of Cluny. The monastery of Cluny (in France, northwest of Lyons) was a center for the reform and spiritual renewal of Western monasticism in the tenth and eleventh centuries.
It was founded in 909 under Abbot Berno, as a reformed monastery, observing the Benedictine Rule with a strictness unusual at the time. Many monasteries in Europe at that time were dominated by a nearby king or nobleman. It was intended that Cluny should be independent of all but papal jurisdiction. Its second abbot was Odo (born 879 at Tours, monk in 909, abbot in 927, died 18 November 942--one of my sources says 944). He obtained papal and royal charters which guaranteed the monastery freedom from outside interference. The third abbot was Aylward, who held office from 942 to 965. Mayeul (or Maieul or Maiolus) was born at Avignon around 906, became a clergyman, was made archdeacon of Macon, and fled to Cluny in order to avoid being made bishop of Besancon.

Congregation of Cluny. Cluny. Foundation Charter of Cluny, 910. From the tenth century there were successive waves of monastic reform - Cluniac, Cistercian, Mendicant and so forth. The founding of the abbey of Cluny in 910 marked the onset of this period. As well as providing some basis for Cluny's later power and independence, the charter is an example of why donations were made to the Church. It ends with some truly magnificent curses. To all right thinkers it is clear that the providence of God has so provided for certain rich men that, by means of their transitory possessions, if they use them well, they may be able to merit everlasting rewards.
