Founders

Named as founders

Who the records name as founding it.

What this means

An attribution, usually recorded long afterwards and often contested — not a claim that it began fully formed, or that everyone who belongs to it accepts the attribution. An order, a church or a dynasty named as founder is listed by name rather than drawn: an arch is for a likeness.

Connections

How Cistercians connects

Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.

Affiliation 207

What this means

Association with a tradition or school. Traditions branch, overlap and re-merge; this is not a clean single-origin tree.

Does not imply personal belief at every point in a life · the practice of a population
