Llanllugan Abbey was a monastery of Cistercian nuns, one of only two Cistercian women's monasteries in Wales, located at Llanllugan, Powys, Wales. An early charter to Llanllugan nunnery was issued by Maredudd ap Rhobert, Lord of Cedewain, probably some time in the early thirteenth century. Maredudd's charter provided the nuns with their core estates in the township of Llanllugan between the two streams of the Rhiw. The abbey's other estates include Hydan grange in Castle Caereinion and Cowney in Llangadfan. Llanllugan also received income from appropriated churches, the rectory of Llanfair Caereinion was granted by Bishop Hugh of St Asaph in 1239 and Llanllwchairan by Bishop Anian of St Asaph in 1263. It was founded as a dependency of the Cistercian monks at the Abbey of Strata Marcella. The former monastery church survives as the parish church of Llanllugan. However, the site of the abbey buildings remains uncertain: they might have been in a meadow 200 metres to the south of the church.

William Barlow was an English Augustinian prior turned bishop of four dioceses, a complex figure of the Protestant Reformation. Aspects of his life await scholarly clarification. Labelled by some a "weathercock reformer", he was in fact a staunch evangelical, an anti-Catholic and collaborator in the Dissolution of the Monasteries and dismantling of church estates; and largely consistent in his approach, apart from an early anti-Lutheran tract and a supposed recantation under Mary I. He was one of the four consecrators and the principal consecrator of Matthew Parker, as archbishop of Canterbury in 1559.

Anian was appointed in a time of relative peace, with the area under the authority of the crown. When Llywelyn ap Gruffydd began his campaign to control the area in 1256 Anian was persuaded to remain faithful to the crown, in return for the King's protection. By 1261 however, Llywelyn's position had grown stronger, as did Anian's own support for him, "standing as head of a panel of arbitrators chosen by the parties to settle matters in dispute between the prince and Bishop Richard of Bangor ", and acknowledging Llywelyn's authority without question. On his death in 1266 he was succeeded by John II.
