The order of the regular canons of Prémontré , usually called prémontrés , was founded by Saint Norbert de Xanten (1080-1134).
In 1120, Norbert founds with Prémontré close to Laon, in current the Département of Aisne in France, a regular community of Chanoine S, been subject to the rule of Saint Augustin, as well as a community of women.
The community took the name of the place of the Abbaye of Prémontré at the origin of the order. They are also sometimes called Norbertins , of the name of the founder, Norbert. Right from the start, Prémontrés have a triple structure: an order of men, an order of women and an third-order, added in 1122 per Norbert, of Laic S wanting to join the spirituality of the order.
Prémontrés have a double mission: the Apostolate, as a Clerk S, i.e. the action near the faithful ones in the parishes, and the Contemplation, as the Moine S. This double mission answers the currency Augustine sanctitatem and clericatum (of holiness and apostolate) . They are sometimes considered commes of the precursors of the orders beggars.
The order of prémontrés had a clean liturgical rite between XIIe century and 1970: the Rite prémontré
