 Cluny
The first church, known as Cluny I, was consecrated in 915.
Even as a congregation Cluny was absorbed by the congregation of St. Maur (1634-44) and subsequently into that of St. Vanne.
A huge fresco of Christ in Glory gazed down from the apse and the church was filled with superb sculptures of which a few capitals representing the virtues, the Seasons, and the "tones" of Gregorian chant are all that remain.

 Cluniac Order
Though at times Cluny's monks met with opposition from stubborn houses that did not wish to be reformed, Cluniac revitalization was actively sought by many religious communities as the reformist fervor swept through the regular clergy [5].
All this transformed Cluny from an austere and humble house to a wealthy community, one possessing both temporal and spiritual power in abundance [6].
This is to be done either at Cluny itself or while the abbot is touring member houses, though in the latter case the religious must visit Cluny and be professed again at some point in the future [39].

 ORB: The Online Reference Book for Medieval Studies
Soon, nobles and bishops were asking Cluny to reform their own churches and monasteries.
Although the idea was not developed by Cluny but originated in Cataluña, the Peace of God and Truce of God, it supported these movements energetically.
Local families began to support Cluny with the sons and with endowments in exchange for the monk's prayers.

 Encyclopedia: The Cluniac Movement
Truce of God, made Cluny immensely popular throughout the Western Church on all levels of society.
Indeed, when Cluny itself, the original house of what would become "the Cluniac Movement", was founded in 909 A.D. by Duke William the Pious of Aquitaine, its charter explicitly stipulated that although it “shall have the protection of those same apostles [Peter and Paul] and the defence of the Roman pontiff”,
Everyone who could was urged to join himself to a Cluniac house, or failing that, to provide materially for a new house, or, failing even that, to become “confraternal” with a monastery.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Congregation of Cluny
The abbey-church of Cluny was on a scale commensurate with the greatness of the congregation, and was regarded as one of the wonders of the Middle Ages.
Under the last named, the ninth abbot, who ruled from 1122 to 1156, Cluny reached the zenith of its influence and prosperity, at which time it was second only to Rome as the chief centre of the Christian world.
The spirit and organization of the congregation was a distinct departure from the Benedictine tradition, though its monks continued all along to be recognized as members of the Benedictine family.

 Cluny and Monastic Reform, The Benedictines by Dom Bruno Hicks OSB (1878-1954). Pt. 5
Cluny in fact became, next to Rome, the center of the Christian world; and after the Pope himself, the Abbot of Cluny was undoubtedly the greatest figure in the Church.
Their special constitution was a pattern for the Church's government, as it was felt that the Pope should hold the same relationship to the bishops of the world, as the Abbot of Cluny to his priors.
The great reformers, Leo IX and Hildebrand, the latter himself a monk, were ardent disciples of the Cluniac system, and the enormous extent of good which they effected in the cause of religion and morality has hardly yet been realized in its entirety by writers or students of the times.

 Liturgical Intercession at Cluny For the King-Emperors of Leon
The dearth of new custumals or other pertinent evidence may exaggerate this impression, and it is possible that thorough search of the surviving Cluniac liturgical manuscripts of the mother house and her dependencies, especially the Iberian ones, might be rewarding.
In addition, three times a year -- at the commencement of Lent, on the feast of SS Peter and Paul (a day of great solemnity at Cluny) and after All Saints -- the Office and Morrow Mass were said for dead benefactors and followed by seven days of Masses and Offices for them.
And the implicit promise of continuing prayer for the Leonese king-emperors yet to come, which corresponds exactly to the hereditary character of the doubled census, means that in Burgundy as in Spain the bonds of societas and intercession were envisaged as henceforth perpetual.

 Bio: The Early Abbots of Cluny (30 Apr 909)
He was abbot for 60 years, during which time the number of monastic houses that recognized Cluny as their mother house grew from about 60 to about 2000.
Odilo instituted the observance of 2 November as All Souls' Day, a day of prayer at first for the dead brothers of the Abbey and later for all who had died in the faith of Christ.
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).

 The Spanish Journey of Abbot Ponce of Cluny
Anaya's warm approval of the legate sent is implicit, and his references to the abbot's long-standing knowledge of, and admiration for, that stout Cluniophile, the bishop of Compostella, once more suggest Ponce of Cluny.
But, as has yet to be recognized, in mid-January 1114 for the first time the queen commenced making to Cluny almost annual donations of monasteries, churches and royal estates.
In view of this practice, it is difficult to believe that Pedro Anaya, the author of this portion of the work, would mention an Italian abbot without sufficient geographical information to distinguish him from the already mentioned abbot of Cluny.

 Cluny Details, Meaning Cluny Article and Explanation Guide
William I the Pious, count of Auvergne and duke of Aquitaine, founded the Benedictine monastery of Cluny, the fatherhouse of the Congregation of Cluny (sometimes referred to as the Cluniac Order), in A.D. William gave Cluny the remarkable privilege of releasing the house from all future obligation to him and his family other than prayer.
Cluny's agreement to offer perpetual prayer (laus perennis, literally "perpetual praise") meant that specialization went further at Cluny.
The monastery of Cluny differed in two ways from other Benedictine houses and confederations: in its organizational structure and in its execution of the liturgy as its main form of work.

 Cluny - City of Art and History
Until the 16th century, when Saint Peter's of Rome was built, Cluny was the largest church in the Christian World.
The church's artistic influence spread throughout medieval Christendom.
The Benedictine Cluny Abbey, founded in 909 and dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul, was the largest spiritual centre in the Christian world at the end of the 11th century.

 Cluny Part II
The great church of Cluny III furthermore was associated with the superstitious medieval past by the "modern" thinkers of the Enlightenment.
For bibliographical sources, see the earlier article on Cluny.
While Cluny was the most significant monastic power of the Eleventh and Twelfth centuries, and one of the most formidable forces for the reform movement which contributed to the Gregorian Reforms, its decline was precipitous and quick.

 Jacques Maritain Center: CE - Abelard
He donned the habit of the monks of Cluny and became a teacher in the school of the monastery.
There Abelard spent the last years of his life, and there at last he found the peace which he had elsewhere sought in vain.
The Venerable Peter of Cluny now took up his case, obtained from Rome a mitigation of the sentence reconciled him with St. Bernard, and gave him honourable and friendly hospitality at Cluny.

 Cluny: Millennial Monasticism
Towering above all monastic houses in the Tenth and Eleventh centuries was Cluny.
The freedom that these two factors allowed in the new foundation in the ordering of their lives and - perhaps what is most important - the selection of their abbots, cannot be overestimated.
The abbots of Cluny were advisors to Popes, Emperors and lesser nobility and for years were the most stable authority in Europe.

 Medieval Sourcebook: Foundation Charter of Cluny, 910
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.
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.
The founding of the abbey of Cluny in 910 marked the onset of this period.

A very good idea of what Cluny and its vanished church must once have looked like may be obtained from the computer-generated images of the church.
In spite of the destruction, there is still much to admire and learn from an exhaustive visit of Cluny and the exploration of the many buildings representing the Cluny style.
The numerous 19C houses, decorated with Romanesque remains taken from the abbey, add a welcome romantic note as visitors travel back in time to the glory that was Cluny.

According to the first chapters of the book, Cluny the Scourge is said to be a Portugese rat.
Cluny was a savage and skilled fighter (he was said to have tamed a mighty beast known as a horse) and even Matthias the Warrior could not best him physically.
Cluny is portrayed as a good general and a fine tactician and is one of the only vermin invaders ever to make it into the Great Hall of the Abbey, but he is still driven out by the Redwallers in the end.

 Cluny
Cluny's basilica was in great part demolished in the early 19th century, but the ruins of the main southern transept, dominated by a great belfry tower, testify to its former glory.
The Romanesque Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul, built principally between 1088 and 1130, was the largest church in the world until the erection of St. Peter's in Rome.
The surrounding town of Cluny prospered from the prominence of the abbey and received a communal charter in 1090 from the abbot St. Hugh.

 Abbey Of Cluny - Cluny Hotels - France
It was at this time, around 1088, that construction began on the third abbey church (Cluny III).
Abbot Hugues de Semur (1049-1109) decided to build a huge church, 187 metres long, which remained the longest church in Christendom until the construction of Saint Peter's in Rome.
The Benedictine abbey of Cluny was the cradle of a reform which drastically changed the western monastic tradition.

 St. Odilo
He started the practice of commemorating the dead of his order on the day after All Saints, so that it is from him that the celebration of All Souls' day has come down to us.
At the same time, the early abbots of Cluny were constantly called to reform other monasteries which, however, preserved their independence once the reform was complete.
He no longer merely reformed monasteries but subjected them permanently to Cluny; he appointed every prior of every Cluniac house, and the profession of every monk in the remotest monastery was made in his name and subject to his sanction.

 St. Odo of Cluny
Odo is the glory of the great abbey of Cluny, which was responsible for a huge program of monastic and clerical reform under this great abbot.
While a canon of Martin of Tours, St. Odo of Cluny became acquainted with Blessed Berno, the founder of Cluny, and became a monk of the Cluniac monastery of Baume.
He was the second abbot of Cluny but began his religious life as canon of St. Martin of Tours, to whom he always had a deep devotion.

 Cluny, abbey, Burgundy, Bourgogne
Already under its first abbots the monastary of Cluny became the center of a powerful ecclesiastical reform movement which spread to about 2000 monastaries in Western Europe.
Cluny, located NW of Mâcon, is known for its famous Benedictine abbey St-Pierre et St-Paul, which was founded in 910 by Duke William the Pious of Aquitaine.
Its abbots were considered as powerful as monarchs or popes, and four of them - Odon, Mayeul, Odilon and Hugues - are venerated as saints.The present abbey was built in 1089 and was a magnificent structure as the models show below.
