Foundation Process of the Order of Cistercians in Hungary

Summary/Abstract: The author in her paper deals with the foundations of Cistercian monas-teries in Hungary in the Middle Ages. She examines, whether they were established by the ruler or some other secular of ecclesiastical dignitary. She notes that in Hungary the ruler’s foundations of Cistercians were most important and profitable, and that private squire’s foundations were not popular. She also describes particular convents and the circumstances of their establishment or, in some cases, their founders. The greatest flowering of the Order in Hungary was in the 12th and 13th century. At that time there were 22 abbeys in Hungary. In the mid-15th century a big decline of the Order began.
