THE RAD TRAD on Cluny Abbey III, Zephyrinus felt encouraged to complement it by offering this Post for consideration (previously Posted in February 2013).
Cluny Abbey (or Cluni, or Clugny), Dedicated to Saint Peter, is a former Benedictine Monastery in Cluny, Saône-et-Loire, France. It was built in The Romanesque Style, with three Churches built in succession from the 4th-Century A.D. to the Early-12th Century. The earliest Basilica was the World's largest Church until Saint Peter's Basilica's construction began in Rome.
Cluny was Founded by William I, Duke of Aquitaine in 910 A.D. He nominated Bernoas the first Abbot of Cluny, subject only to Pope Sergius III. The Abbey was notable for its strict adherence to The Rule of Saint Benedict, whereby Cluny became acknowledged as the leader of Western Monasticism.

Cluny Abbey (or Cluni, or Clugny), Dedicated to Saint Peter, is a former Benedictine Monastery in Cluny, Saône-et-Loire, France. It was built in The Romanesque Style, with three Churches built in succession from the 4th-Century A.D. to the Early-12th Century. The earliest Basilica was the World's largest Church until Saint Peter's Basilica's construction began in Rome.
Cluny was Founded by William I, Duke of Aquitaine in 910 A.D. He nominated Bernoas the first Abbot of Cluny, subject only to Pope Sergius III. The Abbey was notable for its strict adherence to The Rule of Saint Benedict, whereby Cluny became acknowledged as the leader of Western Monasticism.
The establishment of The Benedictine Order was a Key Stone to the stability of European society that was achieved in the 11th-Century. In 1790, during The French Revolution, the Abbey was Sacked and mostly destroyed, with only a small part of the Abbey surviving.
