Dominicans (or ‘black’ or ‘preaching’
friars) were a mendicant order founded by a Spanish
Augustinian and preacher, St Dominic, to combat the Albigensian heresy in southern France. The order was confirmed by Pope Innocent III in 1215, and its rule codified by 1221. The Dominicans were dedicated to educational activity and quickly established themselves at the forefront of intellectual life with friaries found in virtually every university town in the medieval West. They first settled in England in Oxford and London in 1221 and by their
dissolution in 1538–9 there were over 50 English friaries.
