Soon, Cluny began to receive bequests from around Europe – from the Holy Roman Empire to the Spanish kingdoms from southern England to Italy. It became a powerful monastic congregation that owned and operated the network of monasteries and priories, under the authority of the central abbey at Cluny. It was a highly original and successful system, The Abbots of Cluny became leaders on the international stage and the monastery of Cluny was considered the grandest, most prestigious and best-endowed monastic institution in Europe. The height of Cluniac influence was from the second half of the 10th century through the early 12th.

Cluny was not known for the severity of its discipline or its asceticism, but the abbots of Cluny supported the revival of the papacy and the <a href="/wiki/Gregorian_Reform" title="Gregorian Reform">reforms</a> of <a href="/wiki/Pope_Gregory_VII" title="Pope Gregory VII">Pope Gregory VII</a>. The Cluniac establishment found itself closely identified with the Papacy. In the early 12th century, the order lost momentum under poor government. It was subsequently revitalized under Abbot <a href="/wiki/Peter_the_Venerable" title="Peter the Venerable">Peter the Venerable</a> (died 1156), who brought lax priories back into line and returned to stricter discipline. Cluny reached its apogee of power and influence under Peter, as its monks became bishops, legates, and cardinals throughout France and the Holy Roman Empire. But by the time Peter died, newer and more austere orders such as the <a href="/wiki/Cistercian_Order" class="mw-redirect" title="Cistercian Order">Cistercians</a> were generating the next wave of ecclesiastical reform. Outside monastic structures, the rise of English and French <a href="/wiki/Nationalism" title="Nationalism">nationalism</a> created a climate unfavourable to the existence of monasteries autocratically ruled by a head residing in Burgundy. The <a href="/wiki/Western_Schism" title="Western Schism">Papal Schism</a> of 1378 to 1409 further divided loyalties: France recognizing a pope at Avignon and England one at Rome, interfered with the relations between Cluny and its dependent houses. Under the strain, some English houses, such as <a href="/wiki/Lenton_Priory" title="Lenton Priory">Lenton Priory</a>, <a href="/wiki/Nottingham" title="Nottingham">Nottingham</a>, were naturalized (<a href="/wiki/Lenton,_Nottingham" title="Lenton, Nottingham">Lenton</a> in 1392) and no longer regarded as alien priories, weakening the Cluniac structure. </p><p>By the time of the <a href="/wiki/French_Revolution" title="French Revolution">French Revolution</a>, revolutionary hatred of the <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Church" title="Catholic Church">Catholic Church</a> led to the suppression of the order in France in 1790 and the monastery at Cluny was almost totally demolished in 1810. Later, it was sold and used as a quarry until 1823. Today, little more than one of the original eight towers remains of the whole monastery. </p><p>Modern excavations of the Abbey began in 1927 under the direction of <a href="/wiki/Kenneth_John_Conant" title="Kenneth John Conant">Kenneth John Conant</a>, American architectural historian of <a href="/wiki/Harvard_University" title="Harvard University">Harvard University</a>, and continued (although not continuously) until 1950. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Organization">Organization</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cluny_Abbey&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Organization"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Abbey of Cluny differed in three ways from other Benedictine houses and confederations: </p> <ul><li>organisational structure;</li> <li>prohibition on holding land by feudal service; and</li> <li>emphasis on the <a href="/wiki/Liturgy" title="Liturgy">liturgy</a> as its main form of work.</li></ul> <p>Cluny developed a highly centralized form of government entirely foreign to Benedictine tradition.<sup id="cite_ref-Alston_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Alston-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> While most Benedictine monasteries remained autonomous and associated with each other only informally, Cluny created a large, federated order in which the administrators of subsidiary houses served as deputies of the Abbot of Cluny and answered to him. The Cluniac houses, being directly under the supervision of the Abbot of Cluny, the head of the Order, were styled <a href="/wiki/Priory" title="Priory">priories</a>, not abbeys. The priors, or chiefs of priories, met at Cluny once a year to deal with administrative issues and to make reports. Many other Benedictine monasteries, even those of earlier formation, came to regard Cluny as their guide. When in 1016 <a href="/wiki/Pope_Benedict_VIII" title="Pope Benedict VIII">Pope Benedict VIII</a> decreed that the privileges of Cluny be extended to subordinate houses, there was further incentive for Benedictine communities to join the Cluniac Order. </p><p>Partly due to the Order's opulence, the Cluniac monasteries of nuns were not seen as being particularly cost-effective. The Order did not have an interest in founding many new houses for women, so their presence was always limited. </p><p>The customs of Cluny represented a shift from the earlier ideal of a Benedictine monastery as an agriculturally self-sufficient unit. This was similar to the contemporary <a href="/wiki/Villa" title="Villa">villa</a> of the more Romanized parts of Europe and the <a href="/wiki/Manorialism" title="Manorialism">manor</a> of the more feudal parts, in which each member did physical labor as well as offering prayer. In 817 St <a href="/wiki/Benedict_of_Aniane" title="Benedict of Aniane">Benedict of Aniane</a>, the "second Benedict", developed monastic constitutions at the urging of <a href="/wiki/Louis_the_Pious" title="Louis the Pious">Louis the Pious</a> to govern all the Carolingian monasteries. He acknowledged that the Black Monks no longer supported themselves by physical labor. Cluny's agreement to offer perpetual prayer (<i><a href="/wiki/Laus_perennis" class="mw-redirect" title="Laus perennis">laus perennis</a></i>, literally "perpetual praise") meant that it had increased a specialization in roles. </p><p>As perhaps the wealthiest monastic house of the Western world, Cluny hired managers and workers to do the traditional labour of monks. The Cluniac monks devoted themselves to almost constant prayer, thus elevating their position into a profession. Despite the monastic ideal of a frugal life, Cluny Abbey commissioned candelabras of solid silver and gold <a href="/wiki/Chalice" title="Chalice">chalices</a> made with precious gems for use at the abbey Masses. Instead of being limited to the traditional fare of broth and porridge, the monks ate very well, enjoying roasted chickens (a luxury in France then), wines from their vineyards and cheeses made by their employees. The monks wore the finest linen <a href="/wiki/Religious_habit" title="Religious habit">religious habits</a> and silk <a href="/wiki/Vestment" title="Vestment">vestments</a> at Mass.

Free of lay and episcopal interference, and responsible only to the papacy (which was in a state of weakness and disorder, with rival popes supported by competing nobles), Cluny was seen to have revitalized the Norman church, reorganized the royal French monastery at <a href="/wiki/Fleury_Abbey" title="Fleury Abbey">Fleury</a> and inspired St <a href="/wiki/Dunstan" title="Dunstan">Dunstan</a> in England.

Henry's act of raising the English priories to independent abbeys was a political gesture, a mark of England's nascent national consciousness. </p><p>The early Cluniac establishments had offered refuges from a disordered world but by the late 11th century, Cluniac piety permeated society. This is the period that achieved the final Christianization of the heartland of Europe.

Cluny spread the custom of veneration of the king as patron and support of the Church, and in turn the conduct of 11th-century kings, and their spiritual outlook, appeared to undergo a change. In England, <a href="/wiki/Edward_the_Confessor" title="Edward the Confessor">Edward the Confessor</a> was later canonized.

Furthermore, poor management of the abbey's estates and the unwillingness of its subsidiary priories to pay their share of the annual taxable quotas annually reduced Cluny's total revenues. </p><p>In response to these issues, Cluny raised loans against its assets but this saddled the religious order with debt.
