The order spread widely in Sweden and See also:Norway, and played a remarkable See also:part in promoting culture and literature in Scandinavia; to this is to be attributed the fact that the See also:head See also:house at Vastein, by See also:Lake See also:Vetter, was not suppressed till 1595. There were houses also in other lands, so that the See also:total number amounted to 80. In See also:England, the famous Bridgittine convent of Syon at Isleworth, See also:Middlesex, was founded and royally endowed by See also:- HENRY

It was among the few religious houses restored in See also:Mary's reign, when nearly twenty of the old cornmunity were re-established at Syon. On See also:Elizabeth's See also:accession they migrated to the See also:Low Countries, and thence, after many vicissitudes, to See also:Rouen, and finally in 1594 to See also:Lisbon. Here they remained, always recruiting their See also:numbers from England, till 1861, when they returned to England.
