St. Stephen Harding (2130 words)
Robert, Alberic his prior, and Stephen, seeing the evil too obstinate to admit a cure, left the house; but upon the complaint of the monks, were called back again—Robert, by an order of the pope, the other two by the diocesan.
Robert was recalled to Molesme, and B. Alberic chosen the second Abbot of Citeaux.
Hugh, Duke of Burgundy, after a reign of three years, becoming a monk at Cluni, resigned his principality to his brother Eudes, who was the founder of Citeaux, and who, charmed with the virtue of these monks, came to live in their neighbourhood, and lies buried in their church with several of his successors.
