What happened to a novice after he made his vows in the middle ages?

Throughout Western Europe the ceremony for admitting new brethren was different in each area and in each monastic Order, but the underlying theme was the same.
Final vows were four in number: poverty, chastity and obedience, plus stability (vowing to always remain within the monastery and never wish to leave). The huge implications of each vow were repeatedly explained to novices and they were constantly questioned about their understanding of this commitment.
In some cases the novice had no tonsure, or only a small area of the crown of the head shaved and was given the full Roman tonsure after taking his vows; in many cases the new monk was dressed in the full cuculla (cowl) over his habit to signify his new status. The Abbot or Prior might give the new brother the "kiss of peace" and welcome him into the community and prayers would be said on his behalf.
