In this article, prosopographical study of the Cluniac monks of Castile during the Trastámara period yields a qualitative view of their social origins and family links. Some were monks from the lower nobility, more hidalgos than knights and mainly priors, while a few monks were born from illegitimacy, but most came from the middle classes of both urban and rural society. The article summarizes that monastic communities were socially heterogeneous, and furthermore, that abbots, priors and officials were able to curry favour for their relatives, bringing about their social advancement.
