Talk:Kyneburga, Kyneswide and Tibba

Content
The fact that the church at Castor (currently mislinked) is dedicated to St Cyneburh does not mean that the church was formerly a monastery. Nor should it be assumed that whatever monastery she was abbess of followed the benedictine rule, rather than some ideosyncratic rule imposed by the founder. The introduction of the benedictine rule to England was largely the result of a rather later reformation. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:45, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Correct village link now found, but identity of monastery remains a problem. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:51, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

According to Patron saints index, Kynesburga was a Benedictine. Organic Cabbage (talk) 18:57, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I think you need a better source: many Saxon monasteries did not belong to any particular order. Some were more like secular minsters than the monasteries of the post-Conquest period.  On doing further internet research I find that Castor is the accepted location, and withdraw that objection.  Peterkingiron (talk) 22:41, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * You're right - I couldn't find another source which linked Kyneburga to the Benedictine Order. I have removed all the Benedictine links. Organic Cabbage (talk) 10:40, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I suspect that becuase the Benedictine Order was the only one formally established by her time, CAtholic website have assumed that people "must have" been of that order. However, any argument using "must have" means that the author does not actually know.  I should have said above that the village link is not to a Nortamptonshire village, because the village (with the rest of the Soke of Peterborough was transferred out of that county by a 20th century boundary change, which which some people have failed to catch up.
