Note 2171 — Chapter X · THE NEW ENGLAND. 1170–1206.

On Grandmont (founded in 1176, by Stephen of Tierny, near Muret in the diocese of Limoges) see Gall. Christ., vol. ii. col. 645; Vita S. Steph. Muret. (Labbe, Nova Biblioth., vol. ii. pp. 674–683); Bern. Guidon, De Ordine Grandimont. (ib. p. 275 et seq.); W. Map, De Nug. Curial., dist. i. cc. 17, 27 (Wright, pp. 28, 29, 58, 59); and Gir. Cambr. Spec. Eccles., dist. iii. c. 21 (Brewer, vol. iv. p. 254). Henry’s reverence for the brethren showed itself not only in frequent visits and benefactions to their house, and also in his desire to be buried there (above, p. 270), but also by the remarkable way in which he deferred to their suggestions and sought their counsel on grave matters of policy. Examples of this are frequent during the Becket controversy; another may be seen in Gesta Hen. (Stubbs), vol. i. p. 194. For the Chartreuse (diocese of Grenoble—founded in 1084 or 1086 by Bruno of Cöln, a canon of Reims) see W. Map, De Nug. Cur., dist. i. cc. 16 and 28 (Wright, pp. 26–28, 59, 60); Gir. Cambr. Spec. Eccles., dist. iii. c. 20 (as above, pp. 248–252); Gall. Christ., vol. xvi. cols. 268, 269. The history of the English Carthusian houses is in Dugdale’s Monasticon, vol. vi. pt. i.; a full account of one, Witham, is given in the Life of S. Hugh of Lincoln, who had been its first prior.
