medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Christopher, All this about collegiate churches and monasteries is fascinating, but I'm still unclear what you mean here. Most of your explanation involves royal and/or noble patronage, which could, so far as I know, be directed towards either sort of institution. But is it not the case that a collegiate church is served by a college of canons, and a monastery by monks? Granted, I've always been struck by the physical similarities between houses of Augustinian Canons and Benedictine Monks, and once again, I've never been very sure what the practical differences between these two institutions might have been. But you seem to be claiming that a single institution could have both canons and monks? Or am I wrong?
