Founded around 1117 by monks from Cîteaux (1115 according to the Cistercian tradition), the abbey of Morimond quickly takes great importance by founding more than 200 abbeys-daughters, Of the four branches coming from Cîteaux, it is the most prolific after Clairvaux. She is head of filiation for almost all the abbeys of central and northern Europe, but she also has daughters in southern France, Italy and Spain. Through the military order of Calatrava, she participated in the Spanish «reconquista».
