medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture > Guy of Durnes (blessed) (d. c. 1157) Guy was a monk of Clairvaux, and a > special favorite of St. Bernard. He was sent to found the monastery of > Cherlieu. Not quite. The religious house of Cherlieu was already a Priory of Augustinian canons founded c. 1127. (see appropriate entry in Gallia Christiana vol 15 col 262) In 1130 they elected as a body to become Cistercian monks. Guy was sent to become their first abbot. The former Superior remained the prior under the new dispensation. I am interested in this house at this period because according to a Swiss tradition, Abelard's son was for a time a novice there. > He also revised Cistercian chant at Bernard's request; his > revision was approved at the general cahpter of 1150. This ties in with the Cistercian influence on the liturgy &c the Paraclete at this time.
