Abstract

This article offers a reappraisal of the Cistercians in Wales and the Welsh border and evaluates how recent scholarship has informed our understanding of their place in Welsh society and culture. It begins with a discussion of the coming of the Cistercians to Wales and moves on to a number of areas which are currently being reconsidered and revaluated by scholars: the place of houses of Cistercian women in their local context and within the Order; Cistercian interaction with their patrons; and cultural production. This is a study of Cistercians in a particular area, a microcosm of the Order, and addresses how the White Monks accommodated the demands of the Order within the region’s physical environment, and its social and economic conditions.
