Geoffrey of Canterbury : ウィキペディア英語版 | Geoffrey of Canterbury
Geoffrey (died 1154) was a 12th-century Anglo-Norman Benedictine monk and abbot. Of Anglo-Norman origin, he became monastic head of the Benedictine priory at Canterbury, before moving to Scotland to be the first Abbot of Dunfermline. As abbot he presided over the construction of the new monastery building, the immigration of English monks and settlers, and the accumulation of enough wealth to make Dunfermline Abbey the richest Benedictine monastic house in the Kingdom of Scotland. ==Canterbury==
He rose to prominence in the 1120s, becoming Prior of Christ Church Cathedral Priory sometime after the death of Prior Conrad on 17 February 1127.〔Greenway, "Priors of Canterbury".〕 He held this position for little more than a year, until in 1128 he was invited to become the first Abbot of Dunfermline, with the monastery of Dunfermline recently being promoted from a priory to an abbey, being refounded with thirteen monks from Canterbury.〔Barrow, "Benedictines", p. 174; Greenway, "Priors of Canterbury"; Watt & Shead, ''Heads of Religious Houses'', p. 67.〕
