Priories

- ^ most Cluniac houses were priories of the mother house at Cluny, for greater centralisation of power
- ^ Minorites = Franciscans
- ^ Poor Clares = Franciscan nuns
- Military orders: Commanderies or preceptories, and granges
- Hospital orders: well, hospitals, you would think, but possibly also preceptories
- Teaching orders: colleges (?) - at any rate, that's what the Jesuits seem to have
- Hermits = hermitages
