The first popular history of Europe's most powerful monastery. One thousand years ago, the French Benedictine abbey of Cluny was the spiritual heart of Europe, its church the largest and greatest ever built. Nearly 1,500 monastic houses were subject to Cluny's authority, and its abbots were confidants to emperors, popes, and kings. Cluny played an important part in the First Crusade and the reconquest of Spain, sponsored the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, and competed with Bernard of Clairvaux and the Cistercians.
