TRINITARIANS , a religious See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order founded in 1198 by St See also:John of Matha and St See also:Felix of See also:Valois, for the liberation of See also:Christian prisoners and slaves from captivity under the See also:Moors and See also:Saracens. The two founders went to See also:Rome and there obtained the approbation of See also:Innocent III., 1198. The See also:rule was the Augustinian, supplemented by regulations of an austere See also:character. The See also:habit was See also:- WHITE

The first monastery and See also:head See also:house of the order was at Cerfroy near See also:Soissons. Among the earliest recruits were some Englishmen, and the first to go on the See also:special See also:mission of the order were two Englishmen, who in 1200 went to See also:Morocco and returned thence to See also:France with 186 liberated Christian captives. This success excited See also:great See also:enthusiasm and led to the See also:diffusion of the order all over Western Christendom. At the beginning of the 18th See also:century there were still 250 houses, and it is stated that there had been 800; this, however, includes 43 in England, where See also:Dugdale says he could find traces only of a dozen: so that the high figures are probably apocryphal. The first house in England was at Mottenden, in See also:Kent, founded in 1224. The See also:ordinary method of freeing captives was by paying their See also:ransom and for this purpose vast sums of See also:money were collected by the Trinitarians; but they were called upon, if other means failed, to offer themselves in See also:exchange for Christian captives. Many thousands were liberated by their efforts. In the 17th century a reform called the Barefooted Trinitarians was initiated, which became a distinct order and is the only one that survives. There are now less than 500 members. Their headquarters are at See also:San Crisogono in Rome. They devote themselves to the ransoming of See also:negro slaves, especially See also:children, and a great See also:district in See also:Somaliland has been since 1904 entrusted to them as a See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf.
