Augustinians

Canons, following the Rule of St. Augustine. A renewed flourishing of the order took place in the late 11th century, as one of the results of the Gregorian Reform.

From the late 14th or 15th century onwards most Augustinian houses joined a Kapittel, an association of houses sharing the same spiritual ideas.
