Where did monks and nuns live in the medieval times?
Monks lived in an abbey or priory (headed by an Abbot or Prior); nuns lived in a nunnery or convent headed by an Abbess or Prioress.
Did women run any abbeys?
An abbey is simply a building where monks or nuns live. Typically, they live in isolation from the world. Since an abbey could be home to either monks or nuns (but never both) than who ever the mother superior was would be in charge of running the abbey. Please note that even a mother superior would not be above even the simplest of deacons. They are not members of the clergy and have no authority over them, even if they are in charge of an abbey. The same is true for monks.
What is a monks residence called?
