A great number of congregations of canons regular sprang into existence, each with its own distinctive constitutions, grounded on the <a href="/wiki/Rule_of_St._Augustine" class="mw-redirect" title="Rule of St. Augustine">Rule of St. Augustine</a> and the statutes which Blessed <a href="/wiki/Peter_de_Honestis" title="Peter de Honestis">Peter de Honestis</a> gave to his canons at <a href="/wiki/Ravenna" title="Ravenna">Ravenna</a> about the year 1100. In some houses the canonical life was combined with hospitality to travelers, nursing the sick and other charitable works. Often a number of houses were grouped together in a congregation. One of the most famous houses was the Abbey of Saint Victor, founded in Paris in 1108, celebrated for its liturgy, pastoral work and spirituality. Also worth mention are the Abbey of Saint Maurice of Agaune, the Hospice of Saint Bernard of Mont Joux in Switzerland, and the Austrian Abbeys.<sup id="cite_ref-declaration_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-declaration-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The high point of the canons regular can be situated in the first half of the 12th century. During this time they contributed series of popes – Honorius II, Innocent II, Lucius II, as well as Hadrian IV shortly after mid-century and finally Gregory VIII in the second half of the century.<sup id="cite_ref-weinfurter_10-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-weinfurter-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the Middle Ages, some <a href="/wiki/Cathedral" title="Cathedral">cathedrals</a> were given over to the care of canons regular, as were certain places of pilgrimage. The shrine of <a href="/wiki/Our_Lady_of_Walsingham" title="Our Lady of Walsingham">Our Lady of Walsingham</a> in England was just such a shrine, and the cathedrals of Saint John Lateran in Rome, Salzburg and Gurk in Austria, Toledo and Saragossa in Spain, St. Andrew's in Scotland, were among many others to be reformed by canons regular. The canons also took a leading role in the intellectual life of the Church by founding cathedral and collegiate schools throughout Europe. For example, the University of Paris finds part of its ancestry in the famous Abbey school of St. Victor.<sup id="cite_ref-augustinian_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-augustinian-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Later, congregations properly so called, governed by a superior general, were established within the order so as to maintain uniformity of particular observances. Among these congregations, which gave new life to the order, were the Windesheim Congregation, whose spirituality (known as the "<a href="/wiki/Devotio_Moderna" title="Devotio Moderna">Devotio Moderna</a>") had a wide influence. During the 15th and 16th centuries the Lateran Congregation added to the Order's luster by its spirituality and scholarship. In the 17th and 18th centuries the French Congregation of Saint Genevieve and later the Congregation of Our Savior founded by Saint Peter Fourier (1566–1640), responded to new needs by combining the religious life with pastoral work. Finally, in the 19th century Adrien Grea (1828–1917), founder of the Congregation of the Immaculate Conception, in his writing put in its proper perspective the ecclesial dimension of the canonical life.<sup id="cite_ref-declaration_12-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-declaration-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In their independence and their local character, the canons regular had some resemblance to the Benedictine monks, as they did in their maintaining the vow of stability to a particular house.

Saint Vicelin (c. 1090 – 1154) took the Gospel to the pagan Slavs of Lower Germany; his disciple Meinhard (died 1196) evangelized the people of eastern Livonia. In the 16th century the Portuguese Congregation of Saint John the Baptist took the good news of salvation to the Congo, Ethiopia and India. At the general chapter of the Lateran Congregation held at Ravenna in 1558, at the request of many Spanish canons, Don Francis de Agala, a professed canon regular from Spain, who for some ten years had already laboured in the newly discovered country, was created vicar-general in America, with powers to gather into communities all the members of the canonical institute who were then dispersed in those parts, and the obligation to report to the authorities of the order.

Perhaps as a result of this feature they also enjoyed sustained support from founders, patrons and benefactors, and new foundations continued to be made long after the main force of the expansion of the monastic orders had declined. </p><p>In England, in the 12th century there was a great revival of canons regular, in the wake of various congregations newly found in France, Italy and the Low countries, some of them reaching England following the Norman invasion. In England alone, from the Conquest to the death of <a href="/wiki/Henry_II_Plantagenet" class="mw-redirect" title="Henry II Plantagenet">Henry II Plantagenet</a>, no fewer than fifty-four houses of canons regular were founded. The first of these was at Colchester in 1096, followed by Holy Trinity, Aldgate, in London, established by Queen Maud, in 1108. From 1147, Andrew of St. Victor served as abbot of the newly founded abbey at Wigmore. The first General Chapter of the Augustinian Canons in England, intended to regulate the affairs of the Order, took place in 1217.<sup id="cite_ref-augnet_2-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-augnet-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the 12th century the Canons Regular of the Lateran established a priory in Bodmin.

The first Bishop of Valais, St. Theodorus, founded around 370 a shrine which commemorated the martyrdom of St. Maurice and companions. In 515 King Sigismund, a convert to the Catholic faith, endowed a monastery near the shrine to St. Maurice. The life of the monks was centered on the continual choral office and became the model for monks throughout Western Europe. Charles Martel imposed one of his generals on the abbey as superior. It seems that canons replaced the monks sometimes around 820–830. These canons probably lived under the Rule of St. Chrodegang as mitigated by the Synod of Aachen, which had been held just a few years earlier at the capital of the Frankish empire. Until the middle of the 12th century, canons of the Aachen observance and Augustinian canons lived side by side, seemingly harmoniously. This was typical in many houses of the canons of the Ordo Antiquus model. As the Aachener canons died off, the community became fully "regular". On 20 July 1642, Peter IV Mauritius Odet (1640–1657) was consecrated abbot. As a reformer, he was supported vigorously by the Congregation of Our Savior, founded by St. Peter Fourier. At the opening of the 21st century, the canons continue to witness to Christ through the common life for priests and pastoral service to the Church through parish work and the secondary school run at the abbey.<sup id="cite_ref-augustinian_8-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-augustinian-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li></ul> <ul><li>The <b>Austrian Congregation of Canons Regular</b> was formed in 1907, composed of the various ancient monasteries, abbeys, and collegiate churches of canons regular in Austria: <a href="/wiki/St._Florian%27s_Priory" class="mw-redirect" title="St. Florian's Priory">St. Florian's Priory</a>, <a href="/wiki/Klosterneuburg_Priory" class="mw-redirect" title="Klosterneuburg Priory">Klosterneuburg Priory</a>, <a href="/wiki/Herzogenburg_Priory" class="mw-redirect" title="Herzogenburg Priory">Herzogenburg Priory</a>, <a href="/wiki/Reichersberg_Abbey" title="Reichersberg Abbey">Reichersberg</a>, Vorau and Neustift (now in Italy).
