St. Juliana's Abbey
Saint Juliana's Abbey ( nl, Sint-Julianaklooster) was a Benedictine abbey dedicated to Juliana of Nicomedia in Rottum in the present-day Netherlands.. Louis van KelckhovenHet Pentagon van het Noorden, '' Dagblad van het Noorden'', 2012. Retrieved on 1 February 2015. The abbey was probably founded between 1195 and 1210 by monks from the Benedictine Werden Abbey in Germany. After its foundation hundreds of idols, Fosta and Thor among them, were stolen by Liudger from the monastery and transported to Utrecht and other locations. The monastery was owner of two-thirds of the nearby island of Rottumeroog. The monastery had serious financial troubles in 1470, so the abbot of Sint Juliana asked the bishop of Münster for permission to take goods from the deanery in nearby Usquert. This eventually happened after the decease of the dean of Usquert in 1475. The deanery did not accept it, and mediation from Pope Sixtus IV was required to restore peace between the monastery of Sa ...

Bishop Of Münster
A bishop is an ordained clergy member who is entrusted with a position of authority and oversight in a religious institution. In Christianity, bishops are normally responsible for the governance of dioceses. The role or office of bishop is called episcopacy. Organizationally, several Christian denominations utilize ecclesiastical structures that call for the position of bishops, while other denominations have dispensed with this office, seeing it as a symbol of power. Bishops have also exercised political authority. Traditionally, bishops claim apostolic succession, a direct historical lineage dating back to the original Twelve Apostles or Saint Paul. The bishops are by doctrine understood as those who possess the full priesthood given by Jesus Christ, and therefore may ordain other clergy, including other bishops. A person ordained as a deacon, priest (i.e. presbyter), and then bishop is understood to hold the fullness of the ministerial priesthood, given responsibility b ...

Nunnery
A convent is a community of monks, nuns, religious brothers or, sisters or priests. Alternatively, ''convent'' means the building used by the community. The word is particularly used in the Catholic Church, Lutheran churches, and the Anglican Communion. Etymology and usage The term ''convent'' derives via Old French from Latin ''conventus'', perfect participle of the verb ''convenio'', meaning "to convene, to come together". It was first used in this sense when the eremitical life began to be combined with the cenobitical. The original reference was to the gathering of mendicants who spent much of their time travelling. Technically, a monastery is a secluded community of monastics, whereas a friary or convent is a community of mendicants (which, by contrast, might be located in a city), and a canonry is a community of canons regular. The terms abbey and priory can be applied to both monasteries and canonries; an abbey is headed by an abbot, and a priory is a lesser dependent ...

Geuzen

They can be considered either as privateers or pirates, depending on the circumstances or motivations.
