 On that year, Stephen of Obazine, abbot of Obazine, followed the advice of Aymeric, bishop of Clermont, and requested Roger to send monks to introduce the Rule in Dalon.Upon Roger's death in 1159, the monks of Dalon requested the general chapter of Pontigny to send other instructors, since both orders were following the same Benedictine rule.In 1162, just after the election of the third abbot, Dalon joined the Order of Cistercians alongside its daughter houses Bœuil, Bonlieu, Loc-Dieu, le Palais and Prébenoît.
