The first donation comes in 1135 by Lambert Bretizel, giving land in the parish of Briotel today Briot (Oise) in the locality current Écorchevache and a farm located Thieuloy (current Thieuloy- Saint-Antoine). Guillaume bisette, his overlord, confirms the foundation the same year by the donation of half the land of the parish of Briotel and a quarter of its tithes and cemetery of Marseille-en-Beauvaisis. The following year, another donation was made by three brothers, Bernier Clermont, Ansoud and Hubert de Ronquerolles, from a branch of the counts of Clermont, which consists of the other half of the parish. Meanwhile, Simon and Bertelincourt Nanteuil Gaudechart give the land of the parish of Thieuloy and part of Saint-Maur. A community of twelve monks, led by Father Osmond, settled in the locality, from Abbey Beaubec, founded in 1128 in Normandy, which itself is a dependency of the Benedictine Abbey of Savigny.

In 1147, at the beginning of Abbot William I, the entire congregation of Savigny pass of the order of Cluny in the Cistercian order. Lannoy starts to follow the rule cistercienne. After many donations, Father Guillaume obtained in 1162 by King Louis VII, its protection and exemption from secular justice. This exemption was confirmed the following year by a bull of Pope Alexander III. During the entire period until the beginning of the thirteenth century, donations and exchanges of land and rights are multiplying.

They are well installed in Montreuil-sur-Therain, to Orsimont at Montceaux said Abbey, with Monperthuis in Halloy and Thieuloy.

In the early fourteenth century, the monks encourage the installation of sharecroppers for the exploitation of their lands. They settled in new villages such as that of Halloy, erected in parish founded by letter from the bishop of Amiens in 1307.
