The Southwest Cistercian monasteries of Galicia since their integration into the congregation of Castile
Abstract
In this paper we analyze the history of the Cistercian monasteries of Galicia, especially those in the present province of Pontevedra, since their integration in the congregation of Castile. The union itself did not change dramatically the monasteries, but it marked the beginning of modernization. The dynamics of this new period will be marked by guidelines that remained unchanged until the secularization: that is, to maintain the patrimony, to improve administration and to defend the rights of the monasteries, severely injured by the carelessness and mismanagement in the past.
