Dear Jessalynn,
Thanks for the Peter the Hermit references; I intend to reciprocate; but
first let me give you the information I promised.
At the Syracuse conference of the Society for the Study of the Crusades and
the Latin East (1991), I met Corliss K. Slack (History/Political Studies,
Whitworth College, Spokane, WA 99251, USA) who spoke on 'The
Premonstratensian Order and Recruitment for the Albigensian Crusade'._Her
talk was not published in the conference proceedings--nor was mine--because
the volume did not find a publisher. Perhaps she has published it
elsewhere? E.g., *Analecta Praemonstratensia*? (She has an article in
vol.67, 1991, pp.207-31 on the houses of the order in the 12th/13th
crusader kingdoms.) For your purposes, you might look at her Oxford D.Phil.
thesis (1988), "Regular Canons and the Crusades in the 12th and early 13th
Centuries". She was very kind and helpful to me.
