Our Purpose and Scope: To foster and educate our fellow medievalists on issues of ecclesiastical studies of the middle ages and most importantly the Templars, the Holy Orders and the period writings of the Saints.( St Bernard is the Patron saint of the University) Our University is part of the Priory of Tortosa, and is headed by Prior Helmut, the Prior of our Order and the Prefect of the Synod to the Holy Curia of Ecclesiastical Reenactors (The Largest Ecclesiastical Household in the Known World). Anyone can join the University, and membership in the Priory is not a requirement. Contact the Prior for details.
This University is based upon the Society University Handbook but is unrelated to any Kingdom or Official body of the SCA,inc.
