Monastic revival in the late 11th-early 12th century

Is the first guy Benedict? and the second Saint Louis?

My guess right off the top of my head is that the answer to Benedict is no.  I say this because he founded (c. 520s) the monasteries rather than reformed them.  BTW, it should be known, I have a very pro-bias attitude towards Benedict.  I think he rocked and the monks that came from his monasteries were the geniuses of early Europe.

Actually, Scout is right on both accounts, but wrong on both accounts as well.  ???The first guy was Benedict of Aniane from the 8th/9th centuries (not Benedict of Nursia, the St. Benedict who started the Benedictine Order around the 6th century).  The second guy was Louis the Pious, who as far as I can tell was not canonized (I believe St. Louis normally refers to King Louis IX of France who lived in the 13th century).

I was thinking of Benedict of Aniane but could not remember the second part.  I was totally wrong with St. Louis because I was thinking of the French King.  It was William I of Auvergne who founded the abbey at Cluny, not even a monk at all.  The Cluniacs did spread to become the largest religious order of the middle ages though.  In fact, there is a Benedictine abbey near my wife's hometown that is loosely affiliated with Cluny and was originally founded in the eighth century.  It is a pretty cool place.  They do confession in about 16 languages there and the grounds are impressive.  M?nsterschwarzach Abbey  They even have a priory in the US in Schuyler, Nebraska.
