| Abstract | The regular canons remain one of the least studied religious groups in medieval Britain, yet in their various guises - Augustinian, Premonstratensian, Gilbertine, etc - they constituted the most numerous. This session - and its companion session (The Regular Canons in the British Isles, I) presents recent research on a range of aspects relating to the regular canons in Britain. The first paper presents an overview of the much neglected female members of the Augustinian order in the different parts of the British Isles; the second paper assesses the Chapter office in the Gilbertine order and compares this to other orders, notably the Cistercians; and the third paper looks at diocesan reform, considering the case of the canons regular at York. |
