The Rosary Brotherhood is a community of lay people founded by Dominicans in the 15th century (lay brotherhood). Its aim is to deepen the piety of broad masses through praying the rosary .
history
The first Rosary Brotherhood (Confratria Psalterii DN Jesu Christi et Mariae Virginis) was founded in 1468 in Douai in Flanders by the Dominican priest Alanus de Rupe (* around 1428 † 1475), also called Alain de la Roche, the second in 1475 in Cologne by the Dominican inquisitor Jakob Sprenger (* 1436/38 † 1495) and the later bishop Michael Francisci de Insulis (* around 1435 † 1502), also known as Michel François or Michael Franzen. The latter had previously been a member of the Dominican convent of Saint-Jacques in Paris as part of his studies in 1461 and a member of the Douai convent in 1465 and was a student of Rupe in both places.
From Cologne, the first documented and in the following years largest German community of this kind, which even Emperor Friedrich III. , his wife Eleonora and his son Maximilian I belonged, the Rosary Brotherhood spread rapidly over Germany, Holland and Flanders.
