Congregation of Savigny also known as “Savigniacs”, “Savigniac Order” Doss, Jacob

Description

The Congregation of Savigny grew out of Vital of Mortain's (c. 1060-1122 CE) foundation of a monastery at Savigny in 1113 CE. Vital of Mortain was an itinerant preacher and hermit who retired into the forest near Savigny around 1109 and by 1113 had established a monastery there for his followers. Under Savigny's second abbot, Geoffrey, the congregation experienced rapid expansion and notoriety. In 1147 abbot Serlo of Savigny oversaw the incorporation of the congregation into the Cistercian order.
