swuklink: Alien Priories in England

Alien priories were those whose whose founding houses were abroad, particularly French monasteries, or foundations which had been given to such houses.

Edward I was the first English King to sieze the alien priories in 1285 on the outbreak of war between England and France. This was repeated by Edward II and Edward III.

In 1337, Edward III confiscated the estates of the alien priories and let out the priories themselves for 23 years. Peace having been concluded between England and France, he restored the estates to the priories in 1361.

Henry V also seized the alien priories.
