Abbot - Abbatial hierarchy
In several orders, there exists a pyramidal relationship between a major abbey (often the old mother of several others, especially if it was the place from where a monastic reform was launched, which in other cases even lead to breaking away as a new order of congregation) and other ones (often younger daughters), even when these are not (or no longer) priories but have their own abbot. As a daughter could often become a mother in a next phase, the 'family tree' can become very complex, but often the grandmother remains the only one with acknowledged seniority.(because she is old ...)
Sometimes a very real hold was maintained, so the Abbot of Cluny had such vast income from the network of filial monasteries that he was one of the most powerful men in the church, and a real papabile. In other cases the precedence is little more than a honorary status.
In several cases, the senior abbot is entitled to a specific style, such as Abbot general, abbot president, abbot primate and archabbot. Such titles may also apply to the presidents of federation of monasteries, not necessarily reserved for one abbey.
