In the 13th cent. relaxation of fervor diminished Cistercian importance, and by 1400 they had ceased to be prominent, their place being taken by the Dominican and Franciscan friars. Of later reform attempts, the most important was the movement begun at La Trappe, France (17th cent.); those accepting the greater austerities were known popularly as Trappists , officially titled (after 1892) Cistercians of the Stricter Observance [Lat. abbr., O.C.S.D. ], as distinct from Cistercians of the Common Observance [Lat. abbr., S.O. Cist.].
