Børglum Monastery's History
Børglum Monastery was, during the Middle Ages, a monastery belonging to the Premonstratensian Order.
Børglum Monastery also served as the episcopal seat until the Reformation, and the old monastery church also functioned as a cathedral. Børglum Monastery was the main monastery for the Premonstratensians in the north in what was called Circariae Dania.

Establishment of the Episcopal See
The episcopal see of Børglum was established in 1060 in connection with Svend Estridsen's diocesan reforms.
This means that there was a royal estate alongside the episcopal see at Børglum. The royal estate at Børglum is described in 1086 in connection with the rebellion against Canute the Holy.
We're not certain when the first actual monastery was established at Børglum, but it is assumed that shortly after 1060, with the establishment of the episcopal see, there must have been a Christian life associated with the episcopal see at Børglum.
Initially, the episcopal see was called Wendila. The first time the Børglum Episcopal See is mentioned by name is in the Florenslist, first transcribed around 1104, and a copy from 1122 has survived. This is a list of all dioceses in Western Christendom, and the eighth diocese is written as Birgila.

The Premonstratensians
The Premonstratensian Order was founded in 1120 by St. Norbert in Premontré.
Members of the Premonstratensian Order were called canons, as they were all educated priests or were in the process of obtaining this education.
The Premonstratensian-Augustinian Chapter at Børglum is estimated to have been established between 1139-1142.
Børglum Monastery was assessed as a fully functioning convent as early as 1150.
The Premonstratensian Order consisted of independent monasteries. Each region in Europe was divided into circariae, and the monasteries maintained contact with each other and collaborated.

Circariae Dania
Børglum Monastery was the main monastery in the north for what was called Circariae Dania, which included Premonstratensian monasteries in present-day Denmark, Scania, Norway, and Scotland.
Specifically, this involved the Vendsyssel monasteries Børglum and Vrejlev, the Scania monasteries Lund, Tommarp, ôved, Væ, and Bækkeskov, the Norwegian monasteries Tønsberg and Dragsmark (this monastery in present-day Sweden), as well as the Scottish monastery Fearn.
The monastery leader at Børglum Monastery was the dean, and his official title was 'Præpositus,' directly translated as 'highest leader,' as he, in addition to being the leader of Børglum Monastery, was also the head in Circariae Dania.
