Crockery classified from France

The convent has no monastic vocation. The beggars orders appeared at the beginning of the thirteenth century with the growth of cities. These include: dominicains, Franciscans, Carmelites, and augustins. 

If Benedictine monks devote themselves to their agricultural properties, the beggars settle in cities, preferably in the poorest and most densely populated neighbourhoods.
