The interest of women to live a religious life and the concomitant growth of nunneries throughout northern Europe during the High Middle Ages is the subject of this dissertation. A heightened commitment to the religious life was reflected in the diversity of religious opportunities for women by the thirteenth century. The legal and administrative documents generated by nunneries in the County of Champagne (northeastern France) provide a lens through which to examine the social function of convents in relation to their local communities. This study offers new conclusions about the growth of urban institutions, changes in the social makeup of the rural and urban landscape and economy, and the ways in which gender and class shaped the nature and role of monastic patronage by the end of the thirteenth century.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The interest of women to live a religious life and the concomitant growth of nunneries throughout northern Europe during the High Middle Ages is the subject of this dissertation. A heightened commitment to the religious life was reflected in the diversity of religious opportunities for women by the thirteenth century. The legal and administrative documents generated by nunneries in the County of Champagne (northeastern France) provide a lens through which to examine the social function of convents in relation to their local communities. This study offers new conclusions about the growth of urban institutions, changes in the social makeup of the rural and urban landscape and economy, and the ways in which gender and class shaped the nature and role of monastic patronage by the end of the thirteenth century.
520 $a The dissertation begins with a description of the social and religious landscape of Champagne and offers an overview of the medieval county. It addresses the foundation and documentary base of the six nunneries that form the case study of the project. The second part of the dissertation explores the public roles of the nunneries and the religious difference among the houses suggesting ways in which lay society would have distinguished one house of nuns from another. I argue specifically for the special role of Cistercian nunneries in ministering to the poor and sick, but especially to lepers.
520 $a The final part of the dissertation focuses on legal and administrative records and wills generated for the convents. It describes and compares the cultivation of monastic domains by each of the nunneries and the social networks that they fostered as a consequence. The administration of these houses was negotiated within a complex web that was the product of gender constraints, the need for legal precision, and the development of specific binding economic contracts. The charters drawn up for the Champagne convents by the end of the thirteenth century reflect changing perceptions of space and in turn came to articulate and define the very contours of the religious and economic landscape of the county.
