This thesis is an examination of the Cistercian abbey of Coupar Angus, c.1164-c.1560, and its place within Scottish society. The subject of medieval monasticism in Scotland has received limited scholarly attention and Coupar itself has been almost completely overlooked, despite the fact that the abbey possesses one of the best sets of surviving sources of any Scottish religious house. Moreover, in recent years, long-held assumptions about the Cistercian Order have been challenged and the validity of Order-wide generalisations disputed. Historians have therefore highlighted the importance of dedicated studies of individual houses and the need to incorporate the experience of abbeys on the European ‘periphery’ into the overall narrative. This thesis considers the history of Coupar in terms of three broadly thematic areas. The first chapter focuses on the nature of the abbey’s landholding and prosecution of resources, as well as the monks’ burghal presence and involvement in trade. The second investigates the ways in which the house interacted with wider society outside of its role as landowner, particularly within the context of lay piety, patronage and its intercessory function. The final chapter is concerned with a more strictly ecclesiastical setting and is divided into two parts. The first considers the abbey within the configuration of the Scottish secular church with regards to parishes, churches and chapels. The second investigates the strength of Cistercian networks, both domestic and international. Through the exploration of these varied aspects, this study demonstrates that while Coupar maintained a strong sense of Cistercian identity and a European outlook, it was also highly enmeshed in and profoundly influenced by its immediate environment. The nature of Coupar’s experience was shaped by its locality, just as the abbey, in turn, had a reciprocal impact on its surroundings. Coupar was both a Cistercian house and a distinctively Scottish abbey.

Nossa proposta diz respeito às implicações no modo de vida religiosa dos séculos XII-XIII implantadas por Bernardo e Francisco; do contato social que mantiveram com os homens; bem como do desenvolvimento do modelo monástico cisterciense por Bernardo de Claraval, baseado no exemplo de Cister (1098) e na Regra de São Bento (535-545); e, da criação da fraternidade franciscana por Francisco de Assis, com a instituição de uma nova comunidade, de uma Regra, que adota como norma à pobreza, a obediência, a caridade e a humildade, mantendo os seus frades ligados à cidade, trabalhando com os leprosos e mendigos. Por fim, analisamos o problema do despojamento corporal em Bernardo e Francisco, sobretudo porque, na Idade Média, os religiosos tinham uma relação diferente com o corpo, geralmente, visto como uma tentação a ser vencida por meio da busca da parúsia e do encontro com Cristo. / The respective Master Essay Thesis considers the problem of desecration caused through the rules of Saint Bernard of Claraval (1090-1153) and Saint Francisco of Assis (1181/2-1226), between the centuries XI-XIII, concerning Bernard's Epistles and a Treaty named Guilherme's Apololy as well as Francisco of Assis's, Bulled Rule and Testament, in combination with Saint Francisco's First Life, that was composed by Thomas of Celano (1185?/1190-1260). Our purpose is to show the implications in the religious way of life, between the XII-XIII centuries made by Saints Bernard and Francisco. This covers the social contact and the company kept between men, such as the development of the monastic standards of Cistercians by Bernard of Claraval, based on Cister's example (1908) and those of Saint Benedict's Rule (535-545); and, also the Franciscan brotherhood created by Francisco of Assis. This Franciscan Rule for a new community instituition adopting rules covering poverty, obedience, charity and humility, keeping their priests connected to city society and population, through working with lepers and beggars and other ostracized members of the community. Actually, we attempt to analyse in Bernard and Francisco a problem about the desecration of the body, because, in the Middle Age, religious clergies had a different relationship with the human body, usually seen as a tentation to be win, through seeking the Parousia, where it is preached throughout the Christian & Catholoic Church that all christian people await Christ's Second Coming to absolve them of their sins.
