Summary
Chapter 4 sets out and assesses the role played by Cardinal Howard in restoring the English Province and in organising its mission through the establishment of a priory and school at Bornhem, a nunnery at Brussels, a house in Rome, and, by a bequest in his will, a college at Louvain. It looks at how these houses functioned within the restored Province, the growing importance of the school for recruitment, and reveals the houses’ financial dependence on lay benefactors, before the friars and nuns were forced to flee in 1794 when the French occupied the Low Countries.
