Blessed Raynald of Bar[lower-alpha 1] (died 16 December 1150) was the fifth Abbot of Cîteaux from 1134 until his death. He succeeded the deposed Guy and under him the Cistercian Order prospered and grew.[1]
Raynald was the second son of Count Milo II of Bar-sur-Seine and Matilda of Noyers.[2] He became a monk at Clairvaux Abbey and a personal friend of Bernard of Clairvaux.[3]
Raynald is generally credited with compiling the Instituta generalis capituli apud Cistercium, the earliest collection of the decisions of the Cistercian general chapter,[3] and may also be credited with the shorter Capitula, a summary and rearrangement of the Instituta.[1]
