Abstract
The establishment of the Tironensians in the British Isles provides a case study in the reception of monastic innovation and the role of the lay elite. Abbeys were established in Scotland and Wales very soon after the foundation of Tiron in the Perche in 1109, but the English communities were founded later and were less influential. Links between the lay patrons are explored. While the Scottish houses had the support of the royal house and the Welsh community was among the earliest established by the Normans in Wales, the English priories were not successful in attracting high-profile patrons.
