"The Hermits of Saint William (Williamites) was a religious community founded by Albert, companion and biographer of William of Maleval, and Renaldus, a physician who had settled at Maleval shortly before William's death. It followed William's practice, and quickly spread over Italy, Germany, France, Flanders and Hungary. In 1256, some houses joined the Hermits of St. Augustine, while other houses continued as a separate congregation, eventually adopting the Benedictine rule." - (en.wikipedia.org 04.05.2024)
